I feel like the personal me and the artistic me are separate, but connected. It's almost like a Jekyll and Hyde thing. As much as you try to keep them apart, they end up together. I'm very much aware that when I'm miserable on the creative side - if I can't make things work a certain way - it really detracts from being the father I want to be. So in order to ultimately be a good father and the man I want to be I know I need to keep my creative side in check, or at least a little bit happy. It's weird how it's intertwined that way.
Frank IeroTo kill the misconception, I donโt think the songs we wrote before โDanger Daysโ are bad songs by any means. In fact, I kinda think some of them are among my favorites we have ever written. A lot of them are kinda fโing radโฆ they just so happened to have been created in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and we as their parents were not ready to raise them just yetโฆ and so they sat and waited.
