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

Working pretty much nonstop as an artist, the hardest thing is to know what to do with yourself when you have some time off. You struggle with yourself to take a vacation.

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.

I feel like every five to seven years I really need to put myself in this position of discomfort and exploration, just to survive. Otherwise I feel like I'm falling asleep, like I'll go crazy if I don't do it.

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

I was a complete outsider in high school.

I plead total ignorance to Led Zeppelin. I am totally in the dark about them.
