Can our mind evolve to be something other than an extension of our animal needs?

Songwriting is hard - it's so easy to fall into the same traps. It's not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.

Now, the good of business is put above anything else, as corporations have become the new ruling body. Most decisions seem to be made like ones of a medieval king: whatever makes profit while ignoring and repressing the truth about whatever suffering it may cause (like pop music, for that matter).

I'm not a pop song lyric writer. I can't just focus on one simple meaning or even a double entendre.

I always reference 'Mad Max' when I think about what I want to wear. But it's a fine line between that and 'Edward Scissorhands'.

Doing heroin is like walking around with a terrorist as your friend. It's like taking a terrorist around to parties You never know when it's going to blow up on you.

I'm really grateful. But I never had the rock star dream. I thought it would be cool to be a modern-day composer.
