No race or civilization of people are just going to say, "Oh, instead of using real meat, let's just mash up a bunch of lymph nodes and put a bunch of weird stuff in it and pack it up in plastic cans and plastic bins, and let's eat that way. That'll be great." People don't choose that.

I really enjoy playing music. I feel like it's something to try to give to people.

Real music is what I consider to be uncorporatized music, the music that just happens. I feel like that's not a very well-known thing.

For a while, it was something to try to push at people, playing old murder ballads and being upset about everything I was seeing around me. But now I feel a lot more at peace with it.

Because I have something to say doesn't mean everyone has to take it too seriously or get too upset that it rubs them the wrong way.

I wouldn't consider myself a songwriter at all. Maybe I piece together a certain little thing here and there, but songwriters are people who do this with sheet music.
