Imagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with a little science fiction.

I like reading Ball Tongue lyrics and all that stuff. And they published a book and I wouldn't give my lyrics and it's all wrong in the book and I giggle. It's funny.

When I was younger I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

I try to write lyrics so that they won't age which sort of leaves you with the big subjects like death and love and sex and violence.
