That’s my attempt at being omnipotent but still wounded—my attempt at being the voice of God. I was betrayed by someone I cared deeply about and it provoked me in a strange way. My instinct was to be punishing rather than wounding, so that I was in the position of power. So I wanted to make the voice of God sound as androgynous and as punishing as possible—but somehow, strangely comforting.
