Not until the final draft do I force myself to remember that I'm going to have to think about how it will affect other people.
I don't want to tell people what I make. It's a lot more than I ever dreamed of as a kid. I never think about it.
Mostly I have to try to censor myself so as not to write things that will hurt other people, or that will go too far.
I will say again that I have never, and would never, harm a child. It sickens me that people have written untrue things about me.
Rather than writing about my experiences with other people, 'Ugly Cherries' is the first song I've ever written about myself. It's a confrontation: an attempt to unpack my own queerness with humor and self care.
I want to do things or write things that make people feel a bit more beautiful or tragic or something because there are so many other things than just funny.
I'm a real low profile guy. So a date night for me is kind of curled up at home and watching something... have a nice glass of wine, a nice meal and we're all set.
One lady wrote me and told me how she wants to see me get beat up and near death and that kind of stuff.
I've got to where I've always wanted to be. I just feel more myself, and I've learned not to care what other people think. It's happened slowly, very slowly. But I did it.
