If you're a gay person I'd rather not be stuck in a lift with you.

My first figure was a SLAYER eagle. And the dragons and the tribals are all I have got.

The worst thing about touring is the travel.

I write when I have to; I write when the song is done and I deal with the idea and I just go with it and I'll become what that song is all about until I have finished it. And when you do that, it makes the song more visual, it makes it more personal.

Check bags are fun. I just make sure there won't be anything illegal in my check bag which is forbidden at a cabin of a plane. Just leaving things like scissors and such out of my carry-on things in order to avoid troubles with some certain airline, y'know.

I don't reflect much, unless I'm talking to the media. I have more of a "Forward, march!" kind of attitude.

If you dont tour, you cannot expect to sell a huge numbers of your albums either. It was both a business - and an economical decision and we wanted to play anyway. We just wanted to get out for the tour when it was safe enough for us.
