Interviewer: You're known to be quite reserved on stage compared to some of the more theatrical performances of certain other members of the band. Is this is a conscious decision? Would you say you have adopted a particular stage persona, or do you feel the same both on and off stage?
Tim Kingsbury: I think this is partly genetic and partly psychological. My dad is the most seemingly laid-back dude on earth and the apple didn't fall far from the tree. I feel like my role in the band is partly as glue. I think I help hold everything together to a certain extent. Win and Will come from a show business family. Richie grew up in the arts. Regine is completely naturally flamboyant. I grew up in a fairly evangelical Christian family in southern Ontario. My ancestors are farmers [laughs].
