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

I would have to say I'm bored with the standard rock, guitar solos, but I've done it for five albums now, and this time I wanted to go in a completely different direction. I wasn't interested in showing off any more.

Guitar playing is both extremely easy for me and extremely difficult for me at the same time.

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.

I love 'True Blood.' I love 'The Walking Dead.' Those are fantastic series.

Everyone has a side to them that's kind of unexplained and feels misunderstood.

For me, one of the most perfect times to watch a horror movie is when it's cold and raining outside and there's pretty much no outdoor activity to be done. It kind of sets the mood.
