Daisy Grenade talk with Pete Wentz about their latest EP:

For me, my background in musical theater and acting allows me to take something personal that happened to me and put it into a fictional scenario. I don’t like writing literally, “This event happened, and these were the circumstances.” That doesn’t fulfill me the same way. Writing like I’m a character or in fictional circumstances still lets me express and process whatever it is, but it gives it a little more life and packages it differently. Sometimes things just aren’t as interesting as they could be written, so I like heightening things. That comes from theater acting for me.
