What do you listen to that would surprise people?

So many people have such different perceptions of who I am, I don't know what would shock people. When I was getting my eyebrows done yesterday, a set of three songs came on and I said, ''This is really great! I like these.'' One was from Off the Wall, then DJ Sammy's remix of Bryan Adams [''Heaven''] and then a Pumpkins song off Siamese Dream. Whatever show I go to, no matter what it is -- and I go to a lot of them -- people say, ''Wow, I'd never expect to see you here.'' I always say, ''Where do you expect to see me?''

Sitting in the rain, listening to Morrissey, writing gloomy lyrics, maybe?

[Laughs] They never have an answer!

AFI stands for A Fire Inside. What's your favorite alternate definition?

On a couple of occasions, people have maintained that it stands for A Fire Within or, like, A Forgotten Song, where they'll totally ignore the letters of the acronym. And it's nice to hear the base, derogatory stuff directed at the band -- like A Fag Inside. I enjoy those. But I really like Aw, Fuck It.
