As far as humor goes, I've always been a very insecure person and I've always wanted to be liked.

One of the things I've always personally tried to stress with this band was to have some kind of visual aspect and to be consistent with it - like, not to change.

People ask how I learned to play bass with one hand. Well, with a face like mine, you learn to do a lot of things with one hand.

I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment, which I hate to do, but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.
