christian father should-have
I should have been an abortion. The only reason I wasn't was that my father was a Christian.
christian stories want
I just want to make stories. They don't have to have a moral or a reason. There might be some mild cautionary notes, but they're not moral. They don't impart any Judeo-Christian ethic of any kind.
ideas waste awesomeness
We shouldn't censor ourselves based on the weak idea of "looking cool." It's such a waste of potential awesomeness.
champion important physical-activity
I get outside a lot. I am a huge champion of physical activity. It's so important.
religious men two
The men who have gotten women pregnant need to be accountable if we are. If we are going to jail, the men are coming too. Religious rhetoric will bite its own ass trying to nail only women in a two-person process.
thinking might sides
I think my songwriting might be a little more on the darker side maybe.
mistake thinking animal
The Bible tries to make humans not animals the whole time. I think it's a bit of a mistake.
song writing people
I try not to be overly literal. When I'm writing songs, I write down a lot of words, and then I try to simplify it. I like to give people hints or words that make visual pictures for them.
song dog real
I have a real dog-like mentality, in that it's like, 'Where is my next meal coming from? Am I ever gonna eat again? Will I ever write another song again? Will anyone show up for tour?' I think it comes from being really poor as a kid.
piano eight house
I really wanted to find a piano for the farm house. There were so many free pianos on Craigslist, I thought, 'Let's get as many free pianos as we can and stick them all in the barn.' I got eight in a short period of time, only six of which were tunable, but it's still quite funny.
records emotion
I tried to have more than one emotion on the record.
depression skills people
There's no grand excellence to it. In my experience it was just almost the gulaggy boringness of it that'll kill you. You're just in this murk. And you're with other humans, but you lose all your human skills and it's just like you're in this plastic bag and you can't quite connect with people. You lose your ability to transmit electricity or something, and to receive it.
moving giving people
When you're making records, you develop, and so you hear the things you want to move away from. It stings a little, but you know, you gotta own it too. You've got to just go, "You know, I wasn't afraid to learn in front of people, so I give myself a little credit for not being afraid of anything."
taken picture-taken
I have a pathological fear of getting my picture taken.
