I know I'm not a buff dude in any sense, but I'm more than comfortable with my body.
Brendon Urie
I know Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons. We went to the same church. I'm pretty sure he's still Mormon. I left the church long ago.
I'm a pretty good drummer. I'm pretty good at guitar, bass and piano. I can play accordion; I'm not virtuoso. I've played cello before. My sister played it, and I know how to play it, but I'm not the best. Violin is kind of the same thing.
I played trumpet in middle school, and then I had to get braces, so I had to stop playing trumpet and start playing drums.
I've always been that person: If it gets into my head, I've got to do it until I get it perfect - a perfectionist's attitude.
I recorded 'The End of All Things' right before I married my now wife. We had no vows publicly, so I wrote her this song and told her, 'This is how I see our relationship.'
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!'
Some of my favourite record and album covers and stuff have all been the singer, and they create a character, and they dress up a little bit.
I guess a lot of people don't like talking.
I think, you know, when you're a teenager, sometimes your emotions are a little bit more drastic than maybe when you're in your 20s. You sort of level out a little bit.
I've always wanted to do a cutesy little song with a guy and girl singing back and forth and thought that Regina Spektor would be kind of cool for that. I love her voice. She's an amazing musician.
I love Journey and Fleetwood Mac.
I really like musicals - 'The Music Man,' 'Oklahoma!,' 'Li'l Abner,' 'Annie Get Your Gun.'
I love to surf. Hawaii has some of the best waves in the world, and the most consistent as well. That's always fun.
I haven't mowed a lawn in quite a while, but I remember hating that when I was growing up. To please Dad, you have to get it right, and that's the thing. You have to please Dad.
There was a kid that used to pick on me... he used to drop my food and beat me up in little corners. Nothing serious, but tease me. I remember knocking his food out of his hand one time when he in the middle of explaining something to his friends, and they all laughed, so I thought that was pretty nice. 'Well, there you go buddy.'
I wish I was Freddie Mercury, straight up.
There's so much music from Led Zeppelin that I think I overlooked when I was a kid because I didn't understand it, so now to revisit it at an older age, I have a deeper appreciation for it.
People who stand in the way of where people are walking - I hate that.
I always miss New York when I leave it.
I thought that the older I got, that partying would change - and it has - in the way that now I know how to party.
I've just gotten better at partying. I haven't stopped or slowed down by any means. If anything, it's increased. But if anything, it's just more fun now.
Our fans are definitely dedicated. We see them at all the shows, just faces that we've recognized for years. They keep coming back, and it's awesome.
It's just really cool to go to countries and play festivals for people who don't really know your band or don't ever get to see it. It's really nice.
I love Frank Sinatra. He is one of my biggest all-time idols.
There are bands like Imagine Dragon, Grouplove, and fun. who have come along and shifted the way that rock can sound.
I think, for me, one of the biggest things that I struggle with is keeping the excitement up when writing a song. A lot of times, I'll get pretty frustrated early on.
Touring is my religion. Music is all-encompassing - my religion.
We're all in this together. We're all sinners.
I learned to play drums to the 'Blue Album.'
When I got the 'Blue Album,' I was 11 years old, 10 years old, and then I convinced my parents to go and get my first drum kit, which was, like, 600 bucks.
It's so crazy to think about touring with Weezer because that's a band that I grew up with.
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 still use a lot of good values from growing up in the Church, and there was a sense of community. But you were also being heavily judged by people that wanted to look down on you for not being as great as they are.
When we first moved to California from Las Vegas, we got into surfing. We figured we should do something to get in shape, but we hate working out. Surfing is definitely a work out.
I think that a band that cannot limit themselves to one genre and can kind of do a lot of different things.
Buffalo Wild Wings is always a good choice.
My capacity for wanting to create has never faltered. If anything, it's gained momentum.
On the first album, we were trying to do a pop-punk album with a classical influence. We'd say 'pop-punk,' and people would say, 'No, you're like burlesque-cabaret-punk,' or, 'It's baroque-pop,' and we were like, 'That sounds way cooler.'
When you can't put your finger on it, that's the most exciting stuff.
I always want to keep challenging myself to do something that I don't even have the foresight to know what it's going to be.
When I was younger, I thought once I hit 25, I'd slow down. Nope!
Halsey's a really great artist - her voice is great, and she has a really cool message behind her songs.
I used to study 'Hunky Dory' - and be mad that I hadn't figured out anything that cool!
I'm trying to be number one. I'm doing the best I can and working the hardest I've ever worked to ensure I've got that number one spot.
There's always nerves when you're releasing something.
I like to be flamboyant, play characters, wear make-up, play dress up. I was doing that since I was a kid.
I would love to act. I get to do it in three and a half minutes in a video on a three-day shoot, which is fun.
I'm curious what the acting world is like; I'm so foreign to it that I'd be curious to see what that's all about.
I like... piecing things together because it gives you a product that you would never have come up with just sitting down and writing on a blank slate.
