I was just totally taken by Michael Jackson when I was a little kid, like everyone else.

I'm not a quitter. I believe in following things through.

It's almost embarrassing how well-behaved I was, which is probably why I do things like spit water on myself onstage as an adult.

It's insane how quickly everything's changed. I always feel like I'm running hard to catch up.

Being on the road with rock, its pretty much 90 percent guys.

Yeah, I can't separate the art from the music and the music from the art. I think that stems from going to school for film first, and kind of stumbling onto music as my career.

I'm making sure to cover all the bases. Like, I've always wanted a leather jacket like Michael Jackson's in "Thriller" since I was a kid. I'm trying to incorporate a lot of elements of pop culture that I've always revered or was really into when I was young.
