I always say it's very difficult when you're tackling something like 'Spider-Man' or 'Batman' that has been done so many times before.

I was into Spider Man when I was a kid and that was the only comic I've ever read.

I like to make my name of songs strange.

I knew I didn't have the right name for a singer. Having a name that nobody could pronounce was hardly an asset.

I'm not really a Spider-Man fan. I'm more of a Batman guy.

If I'd been offered 'Spider-Man,' I probably would have done it. I don't think it's bad to go and do those things.

I had written lyrics to a song called The Silent Extreme, which Alex later renamed Humans Being.

For me, naming bands was the forerunner to really writing lyrics, because I work off titles.

Cartoonist was the weirdest name I finally let myself have. I would never say it. When I heard it I silently thought, what an awful word.
