I guess the men who are meant to be a part of my life won't be intimidated by me and will be stronger. There's a specific breed that won't be afraid.
Maria Brink
I had a really young mom. We lived in, basically... the projects.
My mom was a rock 'n' roll mom.
When you write music that you are very passionate about, being able to bring the visual aspect of it alive with the music is what ties everything together.
I don't embrace the yucky stuff.
My mom always supports me in whatever it is that I do, and she loves me.
Well, I don't have a father, so there's no daddy being protective of the daughter.
My mom is a total free-spirited hippie flower child. Always has been.
We got to play Madison Square Garden before. I mean, that was like a dream. There is something about the lights and the huge arenas that is really special, but nothing can quite compare to those intimate shows where it's sold out, and it's a thousand people.
Some people, they do just go out there and rock, and it's perfect in that way, 'cause that's what's, I guess, natural to them.
I think we push theatrical boundaries.
I want us to have just one of the biggest shows in rock and roll.
You know, there's so many great bands out there, visual bands, that we have to do something that makes us individual, and makes us stick out from everybody else, and something that is even bigger than just the music.
I think it's always beautiful to take hate in some form and turn it into something beautiful.
If people buy into the band, you'll always have tour that sells and you'll always have that diehard base.
Who cares about how many albums you've sold when you have sold out arenas and you're making money?
When I think of myself, I don't think I'm one of the 'hottest chicks in the world.' I have all kinds of insecurities.
Like, even in our stage performance, it's vulnerable at certain times, it's sad, it's raging... It's not just about being a sex symbol, or being sexy to appease everyone. I'm not about that.
You could be the sexiest woman in the world, and if you can't sing, if you're not an artist and you can't create a show, you can't have power in front of a crowd, you're gonna crash and burn.
It can't just be about being sexy. It has to have all the emotions involved, I think, on the album and in the live show. Because if you do all sex, you lose all of the other beautiful things that should be a part of it... And just being sexy will get you nowhere.
Mystery is great, that's what art is and I think when you can leave your imagination to grow, it's good. I just don't like it if it's super bad because I'm a loving person, I love everybody and human beings. I do have a darkness to me, but I would never do bad things or wish bad things on people, or hurt anything or anyone.
I'm actually a really private person, really withdrawn.
The core of everything always has to be the music. If someone's in the dark and can't see what we look like, you still want that music to make them feel like something and make them have that connection.
We really like to express ourselves artistically with all of the visuals and the theatrical side. It all plays a really important part to us.
My favorite moment in our In This Moment set is when I go out by myself to play a song on the piano.
Seriously, my grandma's like the oldest lady on ShipRocked every year. My grandma's crazy.
If you see somebody getting bullied, step in, be the difference. Make the difference.
I love everything from Deftones, to Pantera to M83.
I got to see Black Sabbath, Pantera and Deftones together, I remember that blew my mind completely.
I knew I wanted to be a singer at 5 years old! It just took me a few more years to truly manifest my dream into reality.
People think that once a band is 'big' that they make a ton of money, but that's not true. It's hard to make money. It's financially a hard business until you hit gold. However, that only makes you strive toward your goal more and work harder because of it.
We are normally involved in Ozzfest and heavier tours. We love all the tours we've done, but I always thought it'd be cool to do Warped, since a lot of these kids are young girls.
I will buy sun dresses that I rip, burn and distress and then sew them back together.
It is so scary to break in new shoes on stage. It makes me wonder, how does Beyonce do it, dance in high heels on stage? I am like 'Whoa!'
We have done so many tours and played for so many crowds. We know who we are.
We have integrity.
I express myself as an artist in different ways.
I don't believe people who think dreams aren't reality nor will they ever be. We follow that theory of making it a reality.
We all have these dreams of everything we want to do and accomplish. It's happening for us. We're living it - doing these concerts, magazines, traveling the world.
I think I'd have to say that 'The Shining' is my scariest movie ever.
I love all horror movies.
You know, we're a hard working band but we don't ever take it for granted.
I did the underground scene growing up. I lived in Albany, New York so I'd go see Stigmata, Hatebreed, Murphy's Law so I was in that whole scene.
We're professionals, and we know we want to write.
I felt like we used to hold ourselves in a box based on fear. Will the metal community accept us. Is this heavy enough? Is this not heavy enough?
There is something magical about being able to feel somebody. And that is something that has always moved me with music.
I'm such a hippie.
All of us in the band are huge Queensryche fans, and Geoff Tate is one of the best lead singers in the business.
My first tattoo was for my son, just a little infinity symbol. Because every time we go apart, we stay together in infinity, so it's a tiny infinity symbol.
Lisa Gerrard from Dead Can Dance is my favorite singer as a singer - so I'm really widely spread open with music choices.
