Tom DeLonge

I've realized that I love all forms of music and get excited when any artist goes crazy and creates something that is an experience.

Angels and Airwaves is a complete, pure reflection of who I am. The philosophy, the spiritualism, the esotericism, the idea of hope and space and the themes about life and grandeur... that's all me.

Most bands, if something goes wrong, they cower and walk off stage and fire people.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

A lot of women in sport tend to take on a very masculine, aggressive look. They want to be perceived as being strong and powerful. I never lost that sense of wanting to retain my femininity.
