The devil wanders into my soul.

I think of myself as a songwriter, a weaver of story and imagination in a way that a novelist might write a book.

I long ago learned that you can't expect people to interpret the songs in the way they had meant for you, as the writer.

But huge photographs of dead bodies are slightly different. I couldn't find much humor there.

I feel like I'm being put inside a box, and I'm not necessarily getting a chance. Like I'm not getting the shot that I deserve. So that's what Rare is about 'cause I feel because I am the way that I am, and I don't necessarily fit the mold of a lot of different artists that's out, it's like I'm not getting the chance to show what I can do. So, that's basically all the frustration of that, and everything is pretty much Rare for me anyway.

In the same way, I write some of my more difficult pieces when I'm at very happy stages in my life.

Never settle for anything less than you want.
