It's pretty clear I am a diehard Chris Cornell fan, so his voice, musicianship, and lyrics have touched me across many different projects.

If any female - or male - does something in order to get 'likes' on their video or to get fans, they're being exploited, and they're actually selling out to a certain extent.

In general, people that we meet in person are pretty cool people - always very respectful, just happy to be there, happy to enjoy the music.

Women in general have to think about certain things that men don't - like being safe in the street at night or something.

I've seen a couple of singer switches happen right before my eyes, one being Roy Khan to Tommy Karevik in Kamelot, and the other was Anette Olzon to Floor Jansen in Nightwish. Those happened with me present, and I saw how well the fans took to these singers because they were presented in the proper way.

I'm really excited to be a part of the 'Fallen Heroes' EP.

Is it hard to be vegan? Absolutely not. It would be hard to not be vegan.

That's the thing: when I'm on stage, I don't care; there could be ten people there, there could be ten million people there. But if I'm offstage, I'm, like, counting the people. I know exactly where everyone's standing, how far they are from me.

I never had this idea, 'I wanna be a solo artist.'

I'm always, always really health conscious - even more so on tour.

I feel just as much a part of 'War Eternal' as I do 'Will to Power.'

A lot of my musician friends have the same kind of anxiety and panic when faced with crowds of people, and I do, too.
