I think the Internet shortens the distance between people, and that can often lead to inappropriateness.
play people house
I like to do what I do in my house and I love to play shows, but I don't want to have to go out and talk to a bunch of people I don't know.
people care facts
There's a side to being in a band that some people embrace and some don't: the fact that you're performing and you care about how it comes across.
strong caring people
I've always admired people with really strong presences and felt that caring about the visual component of what you do is not intrinsically superficial or vain.

Because I'm quiet, people think I'm really cold, or rude, or snobby. But I'm literally scared to talk to them.

I try to be nice. Part of the privilege of being in a band is giving something back to the young people. If you can do anything for them, you should.

I used to be a hairdresser.

It was sad when Sid Vicious died... I was freaked out when Phil Lynott died from Thin Lizzy. I cried. It was too crazy.

I couldn't do rap. I was trying. I don't know how. I'm not good enough to know.
kings rap winning
When I got into rap I didn't exactly win any popularity contests. I called myself Dee Dee King, after B.B. King, to the total dismay of my fellow Ramones.
