Design has always been a driving force in my life: it's the lens through which I experience the world.
Sometimes I think I was making music through the wrong end of a magnifying glass.
The camera is as subjective as we are.
I use femaleness as another lens, so I don't even think all my creatures are women; I just think that I bring out the femaleness in them.
What I do is create a lens through my work that corrects my readers' cognitive dissonance and says: you will see all of it - not what you want or what makes you comfortable, but all of it. And you will not erase what displeases you.
It's like that with what sort of ideas people outside of the band have of HIM. They all see it through a different lens as well which is beautiful. Hopefully, it makes it an endless topic of conversation.
Artists see the world in a very different way than everyone else, and it's important when the artist points a lens at the law.
