I'm not talking about what we're sold to think real people are or what we're sold to believe real people look like. What we're taught is twisted, and I just wanted to write that. I wanted to write a work that was like a piece of literature. But the truth is, you can't write what you don't know about. I've got to know what I'm saying.
People really feel things like that.
If you really feel that, you should write about it. A year or two ago, I would not have said it. But you have to write it. All my songs on this album are testimonies to people.
