Adam Levine graces the cover of the June/July 2012 issue of DETAILS magazine. In it, he talks about music, his family and his fear of being alone.
He says, “I’m fiercely independent, but I’m also terrified of being alone. I travel in a pack.”
On music, he says, “Maroon 5 may not be groundbreaking – we’re not like (expletive) Arcade Fire – but we did [stuff] that other bands weren’t really getting down with.”
He also speaks on the impact his family life had on his ability to understand women: “One of my theories on why I’m so capable of understanding women is that after my parents split, my mom moved in with her brother’s ex-wife—my aunt—who was also newly single. So I was living in a house with two jilted women, plus my cousin, who’s more like my sister, and my brother, Michael, who we eventually find out is gay. Just the estrogen alone . . . You know when you’re 14 and terrified to talk to a girl? I didn’t suffer much from that. It seemed very natural to me to talk to girls.”
