Mostly what I try to do is build emotion. Only I'd prefer not to do it by telling you about emotion but by pushing that emotion down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.
Above all, I try to create an emotion to which others can respond.
I've got to control my emotions. When I fight out of emotions, it doesn't end up so well.
I haven't got the kind of discipline where I can turn my emotion inside out and then just switch off. It affects me fairly profoundly and I don't like putting myself through that kind of mincer every day.
If I feel strongly about anything, I get overwhelmed with emotion.
I'm a big emotional mess. I try to talk about things that people don't like to talk about, especially in music. Hopefully it reaches someone and lets them access their vulnerability. That's what I want it to accomplish.
You externalise extreme emotions, and you look at them objectively and understand them from a different standpoint.
I have always used emotion as a writing tool. That goes back to me being on the stage.
I think the smartest thing for people to do to manage very distressing emotions is to take a medication if it helps, but don't do only that. You also need to train your mind.
You don't have to work hard to bring emotions. It all just comes naturally, you're there living it.
