When I get off tour, I want nothing to do with anyone.

I really enjoy English and poetry and writing classes. You do get writer's block when you're writing music, and having inspiration from other great writers is great. You have to look for inspiration because sometimes music isn't the only thing that you can look at.

'Darkness' is a subjective word; it depends what your viewpoint is and how you live life.

There are pop-culture things on television [that I like]. Not so much in music at all.

I think I'm a homebody. I don't talk to anyone. I sit at home, and no one asks me questions or I'm talking about goat noises.

I don't believe there's a hole in the ground with demons in it but I could be wrong. Hell is all around us - it's the way we treat each other and the way we treat the Earth. We already live in it.

Where I'm at now is awesome. A different road might have led me to a different place, and I wouldn't be happy doing anything but music.
