I find that doing the drums last, coming from a drum history, really works well for me.

At 17, I signed a recording contract right out of high school, so I started touring and traveling the world. I sort of missed out on the college experience.

When I got home from The Ozzfest in September 2000 with Methods... I just locked myself in my house and I started writing.

The record is definitely a musical journey. It's kind of all over the place, which I like.

That's the good part of having my past follow me, is that sometimes some of that stuff can help.

It sounds kind of strange, but Jail time was almost a good experience for me.

Sometimes when you have children they're the opposites of you.
