I grew up in the South and once you get raised on Jesus, it is kind of always a part of you even if you are a pagan, really.

Majoring in religion, listening to TV evangelists interpret the scriptures and dictate my offerings-I found my God inside myself-in every moment and piece of matter. Everything is animate.

There are a lot of people who that you may only nod to; it's better to stop and say hello.

You can spend time self-identifying and figuring out what you are on that, but at some point, you just want to be who you are and not walk around telling people.

Your hatred is rooted in your fear, and your paranoia and insecurities, well they don't belong here.

If some event happens and it seems really important to me and moving to me, I'll write it down in my lyric book knowing that it will come out in a song.

The impossibility and hypocrisy of a situation where kids are expected to be honest but are judged and alienated from their community because of it should not escape us.
