Sometimes Queens' music is dark, but somehow it's ok to deliver it with a smile on your face because thing's are still going to kick in.

I write about my life and the lives of people around me and situations, and the idea's for each record to try to make you a better person, to understand the life that you lead more.

Any band on their first couple records is just trying to keep up with their inspiration.

When you try to put everything into music, there's no room left to try to make you think we're cool. We know you think we're cool.

You got to risk something to be able to give something, you know?

Foolishly play with the fires of rumor, only to risk being burned by its treacherous flames.

Sometimes you've got to draw a line between having all the options and being a slave to the things, using them every time you play the guitar. I'm trying to keep a real inconsistency to the pedals so that it is something new every time.
