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

Sophomore records are historically really difficult.

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.

I love bass, I really do. Bass is ace!

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

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

I'm not a 21-year-old angsty self-destructive rapscallion anymore.
