I've always written about things that cause me to feel something.

For a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that's all my music is, trying to help people.

I've always written about things that cause me to feel something.

This is how it has been since time began: If you want to make something really worthwhile and true, then you have to suffer for it.

Some guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin, but he's standing up for what he believes in and that seems pretty damned American to me.

If something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.

I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.
