The first show we ever played was at my church.
I'm so excited for 30. I hear it's OK. I'll probably do the same stuff, but I'll be more comfortable being who I am.
There's always a bit of nerves that come with expectations and new situations.
I'm a big fan of electronic dance music.
When I was a kid, we had acoustic guitars, a piano in the house. I made a drum kit out of buckets in my garage.
What I love is getting polarized opinions.
I love to surf. Hawaii has some of the best waves in the world, and the most consistent as well. That's always fun.
Change is always a little bit strange.
People who stand in the way of where people are walking - I hate that.
Buffalo Wild Wings is always a good choice.
I just love making music, and I wouldn't want to stop.
I guess a lot of people don't like talking.
I seriously love Cleveland. It's a great city.
Touring is my religion. Music is all-encompassing - my religion.
I know Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons. We went to the same church. I'm pretty sure he's still Mormon. I left the church long ago.
The funny thing about the people I don't like - they're very self-centered.
The album cover of 'Death of a Bachelor' is me on my roof of my backyard, so that's my place where I spend most of my time writing.
Synthesizers were looked at as stealing the soul of music, but then there were these new bands who used it to contradict that idea.
Since I was a kid - youngest of five kids - I've always been starved for attention, like 'Look at me! Look at me! Look what I can do!'
Playing in arenas, that's very non-personal with the crowd.
Nobody had song titles that were as long as ours. A lot of it was just inside jokes.
My favorite electric guitar would have to be my Duesenberg. I've named her 'Dolores,' and she sings like an operatic menace.
My family is very religious.
My capacity for wanting to create has never faltered. If anything, it's gained momentum.
It's so crazy to think about touring with Weezer because that's a band that I grew up with.
It's cool to be different and just be who you are and shock people in a good way.
If you kill the arts, you kill love, and you kill progress.
If I could play Jean Valjean, I think that would be the pinnacle.
