I knew that my love for the Sisters of Mercy, Lords of the New Church and that kind of stuff, was never going to lend itself well to a direct interpretation in Black Veil Brides. ”

We made 'Wretched and Divine,' and as much as I love it, it's a pretty sparkly record - it's a record that could be done as a play because it's very theatrical with no grit. ”

My biggest love has always been the music Black Veil Brides make, but that doesn't mean I don't listen to or enjoy other things. ”

The older I got, I started to realize more it's not necessarily that any of us are inherently bad or good; you just kind of carve your own way, and you are your experiences and your surroundings and what you grow up in. ”

The story of my life publicly has been told through 'Alternative Press.' Former employees, people who have worked there - my friend Ryan Downey, who wrote for 'AP' for a long time - I've been able to have really great articles written about me and talk openly about things in my life. ”

I don't think I necessarily am prepared to write about anybody else's life but mine. ”

My whole life, I've loved '80s synth and goth rock like The Sisters of Mercy and Depeche Mode. ”

More than anything, I write about what I know. The experiences that I've had in my life and that we've all had collectively, that's what we draw from. ”

I wouldn't want to make the same record over and over again or look the same or be the same. I think that's just human life in general, though. ”

That's what makes me insufferable to be around, is that most of my life I have assumed that everyone wants to see me perform and do things all the time. ”
