I'm very fortunate to be doing the thing I do best, which is play guitar. There aren't many other things I could do.

We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.

I've been into horror movies ever since I was five years old.

Just because you know umpteen billion scales, it doesn't mean you have to use them all in a solo.

I think the whole concept behind lyrics is you better mean what you say, or you should like, become a storyteller. I mean, there's a lot of bands who are just storytellers, and then there are bands who actually have something valid to say. And the bands who have valid points are few and far between.

When you're first starting out, there's always the temptation to hide behind distortion because it lets you get away with murder. But, when it comes to rhythm work, you've gotta back off that gain control a bit, especially if you're playing with another guitarist.

A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.
