As a kid I just felt like an outsider.

I realized that I started writing songs to make people feel how I felt, rather than just making them feel something. That's not the way I should do things.

When I was a kid I think the thing I remembered most about The Exorcist was Linda Blair being possessed by the devil, and how scary that was. It had a lot of parallels for me because the movie was challenging different ideas about faith and it was looking at religion in a darker way. Growing up I was afraid of being possessed by the devil, as an adult I'm afraid of being possessed by the world, by ignorance, and not holding on to my beliefs and what I feel strongly about.

I can't satisfy myself with just trying to tie all of my imagination into music, especially when music is not appreciated as an art form as much as it used to be.

Music is the strongest form of magic.

I'm a teen distortion, survived abortion.

My goal isn't to make money, it's to try and survive and make a point.
