I knew about Freddie Mercury and Elton John, but they seemed like exceptions to the rule. The rule being, '[[Queer]] People Can't Rock Out.' So, I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm trying to write the songs my younger self would have taken comfort in hearing."<ref name="newnoise">{{Cite web |title=Fear Of A Queer Planet: Featuring Liv Bruce and Ben Hopkins of PWR BTTM |author= |work=New Noise Magazine |date=7 December 2015 |access-date=18 August 2020 |url= https://newnoisemagazine.com/fear-of-a-queer-planet-featuring-liv-bruce-and-ben-hopkins-of-pwr-bttm/}}</ref>
