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.

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

My onstage persona really is a persona, you know, and really the moment I step onstage, it kind of kicks into gear.

Bands that I've loved over the years are the ones that have a certain myth around them.

Well, Freddie Mercury is a really huge rock star in my head. I've always thought he was just so tough and such an amazing entertainer, really a contradiction in many ways as well. So he was incredible.

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

I try to sing whatever the music makes me feel. And we play so much music from the other records at shows that I hope no one will miss the old style too much.
