You have to really swallow your pride and admit that you want to make a comeback. And that means that you weren't at your best and I feel like I stopped being who I needed to be. When I started making this record "Born Villain", I didn't want to be what I used to be but I certainly didn't want to be what I was at the time. I knew that I was supposed to be something better then what I was. I feel that I am close to being what I'm supposed to be and am enjoying what I'm doing here.

The hero is never the star of the story.

The record is about seeing death and growing from it, and in the end, being strong and being alive.

If you really feel hatred for someone, and kind of send it their way, then it’s out of your system and in their hands. I always think it’s therapeutic.

I never said to be like me, I say be like you and make a difference.

Apart from a very close circle of friends, few people know my true self, and it's normal, I never put it into my music.

Art gives me the freedom I don't have when I make music.
