The Grammys make me hate music, and certainly everyone in the ass-licking music industry.

I become irritated when I am being written off as aloof or stand-offish when I'm shy and don't know what to say.

Sometimes I think I spend my whole life trying to figure out where I fit in.

I have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger, and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design.

Try to find the right balance of keeping things exciting and treating your audience with respect, and also treating yourself as an artist with respect.

Any time I sit down and write music, the first part of that is always centering myself and thinking about who I currently am.

To me, rock music was never meant to be safe. I think there needs to be an element of intrigue, mystery, subversiveness. Your parents should hate it.
