I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life.

So, once I get writing I really try and put five to eight hours a day in my room with a guitar to really try and come up with stuff that feels interesting enough to me to keep it. Catie Curtis
