We were a commodity used by corporations to make their brand look fashionable, but then they used us to keep kids out of venues.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

When I read about myself and how writers have focused on negative stuff, it hurts my feelings.

It's not like I had a breakdown, though it kind of felt like it at the time. I agreed to everything that happened. You can't really be at work and be like, "That's it. I've had too much. I'm going home."

A record is worth 10,000 live shows.

Three years between records is longer than average. Double albums are much more of a statement. I really wanted to put myself out there as much as I possibly could.

I don't know if there's anything that would surprise people, because I don't think that anybody knows anything about me at all. There's not much out there. I think I'm going to come out with a pretty dark and troubled record, and it might upset some people.
