I don't want to mix the identities. Noah Drake isn't Rick Springfield.

I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.

I get inspired at different times and in different ways.

Residuals from Australia, from the Mission Magic show, saved my butt. So there is a reason for everything.

I've always liked the heavier stuff. I've always loved Tool and System of a Down, Korn and Nine Inch Nails.

I write to be truthful in my songs, which is why I wrote what's painfully truthful about my life in my autobiography.

I meditate. Meditation helps me.
