My husband is a musician, and 'Paste' is one of his favorite places to be interviewed by.

I hated being scared when I was little. Aliens really scared me.

Real-life things, like spiders and snakes, that doesn't scare me, but if it's a monster or a ghost or an alien, that will always scare me.

In real life I do a lot of reconnaissance and then kind of choose the guy I'm going to go after. Not like stalking, but I just want a little background info. That might be why I haven't had many bad dates.

I feel like if I'm going to take time reading, I better be learning.

Education is not so important as people think.

You begin to see that all of these things are connected: The kind of cuts that mean less environmental protection are also the kind of cuts that mean less musical education for the schools and that also mean more overcrowded schools.

Knowledge is more important than life. We've only one excuse for existing, to think, to find out, to learn.
