I don't think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

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

Music is the most powerful thing on this earth, and it's hard to be angry when you are listening to music.

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 turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.

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

I'm free from holding personal anger because I can express what I want through my music.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

I've always heard music in my head since I was a little kid, so I've always played towards that. If I felt bad, that's what I did.
