By definition pop is extremely catchy, whether you like it or not.

If I went to jail, at least I wouldn't have to sign autographs.

I liked anything that was a little bit weird, a little bit different. I always went for the psychotic, weird, 'dingey' bands.

I wanted to be in a punk band before I had even heard any punk music.

I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.

I have to admit I've found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I'm pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.

There's definitely some pieces in there that reflect on my personal life, but really, they aren't as personal as everybody thinks they are. I would like them to be more personal. The emotions, the songs themselves are personal. I can't do it - I've tried to write personally and it just doesn't seem to work. It would be too obvious. Some things that you could read in could fit into anyone's life that had any amount of pain at all. It's pretty cliche'.
