A lot of artists think they want anger. But a real, strong, bitter anger occupies the mind, leaving no room for creativity.

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 think I have some anger-management issues, and they end up coming out in these passive-aggressive songs that sound happy.

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

So many things can drive you mad as a child, not only music.

Angry people are not beautiful.

Artists are overcompensating with this aggressive, energetic, hyperstimulating music - it's like someone shaking you. But it can't move people on an emotional level.
