Really, everything for me comes from "Manifestra." It was an incredible gift of a song; it really describes an important moment in my life.

I think I have come across as "unafraid" because I really cannot control what comes through me in my writing.

It's funny because my main awkwardness around writing the song had little to do with the method.

I wanted to touch on the piece where often politicians use "god" to excuse their actions.

I didn't realize at the time that if I wrote about something, I was going to have to talk about something. A lot. Ad nauseum.

I always write from rhythm first, so if I need a song fast, I have to start there. Then I just threw some electric guitar at it.

As a listener, I like a wide range of sounds.
