I See It As My Duty In

The Reason I've Gotten Into Script-writing, Which Was Accidental To Begin With, Was That I Found It Was A Far More Effective Medium For Violence. Which Is Something That I'd Always Written In Songs, But The Violence Always Sat Strangely Within A Song. And I Was Always Interested In The Way In Which You Listen To Murder Ballads And Things Like That - These Weird Lines Would Kind Of Come Out, Like, I Drug Her By The Hair Or Something - That Sat Weirdly In The Song. Film Seems To Be A Medium Designed For Betrayal And Violence.

The Artistic Process Seems To Be Mythologized Quite A Lot Into Something Far Greater Than It Actually Is. It Is Just Hard Labor.

I Write Hate Lyrics Really Well. It's Not Every Day You Can Use Them, Really.

I'm Unable To Really Write The Kind Of Song That Doesn't Have A Visual Element, Which Most Songs Don't.

The More Settled I've Become, The More Problematic My Characters Have Become. There Was A Period When I Wrote Sensitive And Gentle Songs And These Came At A Time When Life Was At Its Most Destructive. I Think You Write About What You Need, On Some Level.
