The song that's affected me the most profoundly is probably Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' or, more specifically, the couple seconds of instrumental break before Vincent Price starts 'rapping.'

I really like pop music, I don't think it's a four-letter word.

I write really scathing, angry stuff when I'm in a better mood, and then uplifting and happy stuff when I'm at the absolute bottom.

'Punk' doesn't mean Mohawks and safety pins. It's about not conforming.

I lost about 60 pounds. I don't really have a moment specifically that made me do it. I remember little things, like, when I was in Japan, I remember looking around at the portion sizes of a fast food restaurant and being like, 'Well, this has something to do with it.' Americans definitely eat too much.

Lyrically, I personally lean towards venting.

I love playing our older songs along with newer ones but If all I have is my old stuff, I quit. Creating is more rewarding.
