There are some pop songs I hate but I can't get them out of my head. Our songs also have the standard pop format: Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, bad solo. All in all, I think we sound like The Knack and the Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath.

You can't buy happiness

We can plant a house, we can build a tree.

Once you fall in love... It's different.

I had a really good childhood up until I was nine years old. Then a classic case of divorce really affected me and I moved back and forth between relatives all the time. And I just became extremely depressed and withdrawn.

My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.

Don't expect me to cry for the wrong reasons.
