I Can't Not Write, If

I Was Taught From A Young Age That I Had To Serve, So That Turned Into Me Thinking I Had To Save The Planet.

I Have As Much Rage As You Have, I Have As Much Pain As You Do, I've Lived As Much Hell As You Have, And I've Kept Mine Bubbling Under For You.

And Ultimately The People Who Produce My Records, They Know That They're Here To Serve The Purpose Of Me Expressing Who I Am At This Period Of Time And Augmenting That Or Pulling It Forward And I Love That Process.

We're Taught To Be Ashamed Of Confusion, Anger, Fear And Sadness, And To Me They're Of Equal Value To Happiness, Excitement And Inspiration.

What Influenced Me Was Tori Amos, Who Was Unapologetic About Expressing Anger Through Music, And Sinead O'connor. Those Two In Particular Were Really Moving For Me, And Very Inspiring, Before I Wrote 'jagged Little Pill.'
