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 was a complete outsider in high school.

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

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

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

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.

You have to open up on stage.
