I've always been aware of having feelings that were pretty intense at times. I imagine most people have had that, or they wouldn't be human.
Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.
I don't know what other people are like, I haven't been able to crawl inside anybody else.
For a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that's all my music is, trying to help people.
