'Lord of the Flies' is one of my favorite books. That was a big influence on me as a teenager; I still read it every couple of years.

Sergio Leone was a big influence on me because of the spaghetti westerns.

I always loved horror, but I read all sorts of books. My favourite as a child was 'The Secret Garden' which has a big influence on Lord Loss, believe it or not!

Nat King Cole was a really big influence.

One of my favorite books is 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' by George Orwell, and 'Catcher in the Rye,' obviously, is a big influence and is one of my favorites.

Elvis was a big influence to my music, but Loretta Lynn was, as well.
