Obviously, it's great to know that your music is being listened to.

If a psychiatrist would analyze [the lyrics], I'm sure they'd come up with something interesting. I really don't try to twist them. I don't want to slash things.

I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.

I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.

The guys in high school were like, "You've got a nice voice; you should keep singing," but I never honestly thought that one day I'd be a singer. When you're young, you don't see the signs.

I don't think my vocals demand effects. I like reverb to a certain extent, but I don't want to hide my voice. I like stripped-down vocals, but I also like crazy, powerful, doubled vocals like in dance or electronic music.

I don't like to read the Internet; I'm not aware of what's going on.
