“I feel so much more inspired and confident and eager to write than I did before. I think that the line of questioning that consumed me last year was debilitating and just created more obstacles. Now I feel like, it’s okay to take stock and reconsider motives and go through that process with one’s own work. But I was so obsessed with that existential conundrum of ‘What’s the point of the song?’ that it was just ridiculous. Now I feel like I’m embracing ignorance in a way. Like, who cares? I can’t explain what I’m doing; it doesn’t make any sense to me. The life of the mind can lead to this debilitating maze or mental labyrinth, in which one is left wandering and scaling endless walls of existential questioning. I can’t live my life like that. So I’m much more into just action now. That’s why we’re starting to incorporate dance into the shows because I just wanna move, I just wanna feel. I believe in sensation now more than I believe in thought.”
