I've always been aware of having feelings that were pretty intense at times. I imagine most people have had that, or they wouldn't be human.

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 don't know what other people are like, I haven't been able to crawl inside anybody else.

And I've been walking 'round with memories way too long.

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.

I don't describe myself as a Christian or religious, but I like to think that how I live my life is honest.
