I wrote about drugs, and I didn't think I was being unsafe or careless by writing about them. I didn't want fans to think heroin was cool. But then I've had fans come up to me and give me the thumbs up, telling me they're high. That's exactly what I didn't want to happen.
Music is the doorway that has led me to drawing, photography, and writing.
It's just writing about things, feelings, not that we're dark or depressed...just as much as anyone else is.
We write about ourselves because we know about ourselves.
