We've never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be.
I'm not ashamed of my spiritual beliefs, but I in no way incorporate them into this band.
I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.
There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, and that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience.
If people make fun of you, it probably means you're doing something right.
