I think people get fixated on the example of an idea.

All I really care about is that I'm being honest and I'm real and I'm coming from a real place.

I like to keep my feet on the sidewalk.

I got into guitar because no parent will buy their eight-year-old kid drums, unless they're divorced and trying to get back at their wife.

I don't mind saying what's on my mind.

I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.

I like to write about things that are dark or twisted. Where the poetry seems to be is when you start in the dark and reach for the light - that's what makes it not depressing to me.
