My songs have always been frustrating themes, relationships that I've had. And now that I'm in love, I expect it to be really happy, or at least there won't be half as much anger as there was.

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

Personally, I can't see how anyone can produce any beautiful music out of being angry.

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.

In the course of my life, I've made some happy songs but it's the more sort of like pathos-laden, emotional, melancholic music that either I make or that other people make that really resonates with me.

I think I'm the only singer who doesn't have a temper. The only time I got angry was at a music studio when I was made to wait for three hours without being informed about the delay in the recording.

Most of my songs start out as being very aggressive and guitar-driven.

I'm such an emotional and sensitive person, so it only makes sense that my songs are as well.

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.
