I wanted to be an actor as a kid. My teacher in second grade had called a talent agency and had them call my house. My mom was so mad. ”

I like to be flamboyant, play characters, wear make-up, play dress up. I was doing that since I was a kid. ”

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!' ”

I mostly listen to things that are so different because there's something so intriguing about trying to understand where someone is coming from. ”

My music library is all over the place. I've got A$AP Rocky; I've got Billy Joel. I've got, like, Celine Dion albums that I just worship. There's all kinds of different stuff. ”

I think that a band that cannot limit themselves to one genre and can kind of do a lot of different things. ”

It's cool to be different and just be who you are and shock people in a good way. ”

I have smaller hands, so it's nice being a littler guy, having a guitar that fits my body type. ”

Other bands in Vegas hated us because we hadn't played shows and paid our dues. Publications called us out, saying we were just a put-together band, claiming we had ghostwriters. It made me so happy, the fact that everyone was hating on us so hard. ”

I've always been comfortable in my own skin - sometimes a little too comfortable, which in turn makes other people uncomfortable. ”
