If I was money-motivated, I wouldn't have joined a rock band with three other Armenian guys.
I like structuring verses, choruses, but sometimes the verses might be a tango and the choruses might be death metal.
In the Middle East in the summertime, to keep cool, a lot of people sleep on the rooftops.
As a musician, I don't think I'm the greatest guitar player. I'm a bigger fan of the drums than I am the guitar; I just happen to play guitar. I play drums almost every day at my house. I wrote a lot of songs behind the drum kit, just having the music and vocals in my head and playing the rhythm.
I guess you'd say I'm a gearhead. It's not just guitars; I have five or six drum sets, a bunch of keyboards... It's like Guitar Center exploded, and all the cool stuff dropped in my backyard. I'm a really lucky guy, I have to admit.
There's no rule that says you have to make records constantly, like clockwork, to continue being who you are.
