“If I could choose now I would have done it differently, but this is the result and at least I know the record is incredibly honest. I can hear it in the songs, I can hear it in my voice, that when I was recording the tracks I still wasn’t healed. I can hear the anxiety in my voice”.

“In terms of things like death though, I still find more comfort in facing it than avoiding it. I’d rather sing about that, that anything else. I feel better then, more in control, when staying aware of those things. It’s important to confront those difficulties. That’s the whole idea about existential philosophy – if you actually confront things like anxiety or death you are going to be healthier, because you are facing the actual truth. But its not always pleasant.”

“Anger is an emotion, that can be used for positive things, but it has such a negative connotation to it. Zack de la Rocha from Rage Against The Machine sings, that “anger is a gift” and when I heard it for the first time, I thought it was very true. Anger is a very high form of passion. It also can come from fear, especially when you care about somehing a lot, but it can be used in a positive capacity towards change in the world.”
