How long before my dignity is reclaimed?

All of my unconscious fears were in my face about letting go of the current identity. A lot of the thoughts that came up were fear-based and false, so I had to work to let them go.

When we [people] are operating from the belief that we're not connected, it feels so dangerous and scary and vulnerable and awful.

Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.

In a perfect world, there would be no censorship, because there would be no judgement. I find the hypocritical aspect disconcerting, to say the least. We can show people being murdered on television, but I'm not able to say "chickenshit" in public. At the same time, I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.

Whether you’re checked in or checked out, you’re always on a spiritual journey.

Most of the songs are, in a roundabout way, actually addressed to myself, there's a certain aspect of the songs that's very confessional, very unadulterated...It was a very unfettered, spiritual experience.
