I enjoy listening to classical music and heavy metal. I play basketball and try to go diving at least once a year. I don't really have hobbies in the traditional sense... I engage in too many activities already through the actions of my characters.

We are one of the last heavy metal bands. Iron Maiden has always been unique.

At 15, I started listening to hard rock and heavy metal, but I would say it was more hard rock because I liked Kiss, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, and eventually AC/DC.

I don't think we're metalcore. To me, metalcore is more like hardcore-influenced metal, with lots of breakdowns. I think we're a lot more diverse sounding than that.

The hairstyles of most Heavy Metal bands are pretty horrendous.

People get into metal and they don't drift away from it. They might have families and move away a little, but they certainly don't forget about it.

I've always been very respected as a female singer in metal, or in general as a female singer.

Metal isn't necessarily aggressive. There's metal that's contemplative, there's metal that's sad, and there's metal that's exuberant. No genre is limited in what it can express.

I always dreamt of being in 'Kerrang.' That was my ambition. I read that religiously when I was into heavy metal. Then the jazz magazines took over.

And I was a kid from L.A. and I just wanted to play thrash metal.

I just think that a metal band covering a bunch of metal songs is so boring, so 'done before.'

Kerrang asked us to do a heavy metal tribute to one of our favorite heavy metal bands. We had already been jamming out on 'Walk,' so we're like, 'OK. We'll record it for you guys.'

If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.

It's about putting the pedal to the metal and not asking any questions at all and just going for it.

There are no apologies for being a female in heavy metal and especially not in 2019.

You can see these boxes which are covered with metal foils for thermal reasons, and they are also, most of the time, thermally controlled inside to keep reasonable temperature inside each of these containers.

I have a metal plate in my head, and can pop my shoulder and pop it back.

I associate heavy metal with fantasy because of the tremendous power that the music delivers.

A lot of the metal bands that were around when Metallica put out 'The Black Album,' now they're playing clubs, and Metallica is playing stadiums.

I would like to teach Metallica our dance moves, just because we've learned so much from them about metal.
