I was a massive fan of American Satan. In terms of acting, I know you've previously said that's something you want to pursue. Are you actively pursuing it? If so, is there anything coming up that you can tell us about?
We're doing the series that we wrapped, Paradise City, which is a spin-off of the film. Not to bring things down, but it's kind of crazy that this morning, Cameron Boyce, who's in Paradise City, passed away at 20 years old. We only shot one or two scenes together because we were in different storylines, but it's just crazy, so I feel like I couldn't possibly mention that without sending my condolences to his family. He was a really wonderful kid and it's so sad that something like that could happen, he had a seizure or something in his sleep.

But yeah, to answer your question, any time I get the opportunity, I'm down! I'm working on a project right now, something of my own. I'm trying to revive a franchise from many years ago that I'd love to see out there in the world again, so if anything becomes of that, you'll know.

Finally, I always end on a controversial question - you don't need to answer it if you don't want to... but before I do, I just want to say, I'm so glad I got through this without saying, "Black Field Brads."
That's my favourite one! We were in a venue in Seattle called El Corazón, and there are lofts behind it. We did a photoshoot in the hallway and the people living in these apartment complexes were coming out, and would ask what the band was called. One of the people came out and we said, "Black Veil Brides," and he said, "Black Field Brads?!" We said, "Yes... Yes, you are correct."
Like I said, I always like to end on one very controversial question, you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, Green Day or blink-182?
So, if you were to ask me without knowing them, I was a bigger fan of Green Day certainly - but I have become close to and worked with Travis, Mark and Matt, so I know them and I've been around them quite a bit, and they're all such incredibly wonderful people that... And I've met members of Green Day, I just have to side with blink-182. I love the records that they've made, and the new one that's coming out. Everything they've done over the last few years, I've been such a fan of, so I've got to go with blink!
I assume Matt Skiba being in the band has a little influence there.
Yeah, Matt tips it over for me.
