Music is a very powerful thing. If I'm angry, I can write a song about it, and it seems to make everything okay.

If I do a song where I'm angry, when it's time to perform it live I'm not mad, I'm happy. I'm at a concert. But I have to somehow drum up that rage. That's acting.

I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.

I use music as therapy. Whenever I'm feeling angry or needing some 'me' time, which is quite regularly, I'll go and bang a piano or flesh out something on a guitar.

My music comes from my emotion, always.

I listen to music deeply and seriously for at least an hour or two a day.

I was being very bad because I didn't know how to express myself. Music gave me an outlet to express myself and channel that anger.
