I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

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 think that creative work, music in particular, is a conveyor of inner emotional life. I don't feel one way all the time, so I don't want my music to feel the same way all the time.

Whenever I make music, it reflects where I'm at mentally.

Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.

I did a lot of work without thinking about it in a calm, rational way. Stopping and thinking about what I was doing made my music calmer and deeper in tone.

If something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.

It's wonderful when music is intellectually stimulating. But ultimately it has to be a visceral experience.

There's a point where you think, 'What else will I do if I don't do music?' It becomes your identity when it never should have been. But food ignited a fire in me, and I came right back to music because it no longer felt like a job. It was a really powerful thing for me.

I've got a very short attention span, and this has been part of the reason I'm so kind of dumbfounded at the fact that I've still stayed with music. Nothing has ever stuck for me, and music's the only thing that's managed to stick out for a long period of time.
