First I Was 'angry,' Then 'spiritual.' Now

Typically I Go In The Studio And Whatever I'm Contemplating That Day Will Wind Up Being A Song. I Don't Come In With Lyrics... I Just Go In And Let It Happen.

I Firmly Believe That The Only Reason Why I'm On This Planet, The Only Reason Why I Live, Breathe, And Exist Is, That It's My Duty To Be As Honest As Possible In My Art.

I Want To Walk Through Life.

When I Was Younger, I Was Terrified To Express Anger Because It Would Often Kick-start A Horrible Reaction In The Men In My Life. So I Bit My Tongue. I Was Left To Painstakingly Deal With The Aftermath Of My Avoidance Later In Life, In Therapy Or Through The Lyrics Of My Songs.
