I never write from concept. The beat is the beginning, and then I fill in the rest of the song into what it should be.
I come from a working-class family in Pittsburgh, whereas 'Mike & Molly' deals with the working class in Chicago. I swear a little, but I pretty much talk the same. It's not like when you see someone like Tim Allen and he's a lot bluer onstage.
I'm not really into gothic music, it's not really my type of scene but each to their own. I listen to pretty much anything.
