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

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.

Music is therapy for me. It's my outlet for every negative thing I've ever been through. It lets me turn something bad into something beautiful.

My music started as a way to break through weaknesses - like anxiety, which was completely taking over my whole life, where I could barely function.

For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.

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.

I was ready to quit music. It felt to me like music equalled death.

I don't feel like I chose to do music as much as I made a decision to not stop doing music.

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.
