Most of my favourite artists are women.
It's quite an easy way to write a concept album about love. Everything boils down to love in the end.
Some people lose a whole world to grief sometimes, while others just don't grieve. Sometimes we're just too scared to face our emotions.
We tour the world and my carbon footprint is massive. I feel like it's my responsibility to do something - not just to offset it but to help make a difference.
You have to ration your creativity over all your songs. You write a really cool pop song then you have to write a heavy song to balance out, then you need to think about singles.
I just love to sit and go, 'Let's just write a song and not worry about how it needs to be'.
Happy Song' is a sarcastic open letter to the world about how we use superficial and trivial things to ignore the real problems.
When I was 17, death metal and extreme hardcore was the best music in the world to me. But as I got older, my palette changed and my thirst for melody and emotion just got bigger and bigger.
I think EDM and metal and rock have been together already for a long time. Bands like Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, the Prodigy - they all have influences from both.
Rock's gone soft, it's gone miserable and boring, there's not really much exciting about it. So it's important that we cross over, because we feel like we belong more in a place where people just like music and it's not about how heavy it is.
To be honest, I don't really like arenas. It's not easy to make the sound good, or to perform in them.
Everything I'd taught myself about screaming is basically a big no-no for singing. Your posture, your airflow - you're just pushing all the air out. When you start out, you're fast, heavy and loud but you're hiding behind it in a way. When you stop screaming, that's when it gets hard.
I was trying to prove people wrong who said I wasn't a good guy, and I was trying to be the person that other people thought I was - people who loved our band thought I was a god.
But I can't stress enough how much talking helps. I was so reluctant at first; I didn't think it would help. But even if there's no answer to your troubles, they will seem so much smaller once they leave your head.
Arctic Monkeys are actually one of my favourite bands going, which is really weird cos I went to school and college with them.
I must have been about 13 when I first heard Linkin Park and, to be honest, music had never played that much of a part in my life to that point.
