I do appreciate the '80s as an era, the general sounds and aesthetics of the era. The Cure, that whole kind of image is really kind of amazing, I think. The power ballads and how everything sparkles and words are really dramatic. Huge drums, things like that. I do really find it inspiring.

I think it's cool to be a rock star I don't think there are many. There aren't many who speak out and take risks. And I think that's important.
