My musical tastes change every week.

A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.

I love horror movies in space. I love it when the genre switches over and what was sci-fi becomes horror.

If a guitar is too easy for me to play, it makes me too laid back. I like to battle with my guitar.

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.

Basically I just had to say, 'Screw everyone around me - from now on I'm just gonna play what I think is important to me and our music.' So I gave the big finger to all the current trends in technical wizardry, and just went off and did what I felt was best for the songs.

It's definitely true that Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of my all-time favorite guitarists.
