Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today.

My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends but you'll never have enemies because people will always know where you're coming from.'

It's really cool to see glowsticks at the show to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community.
