Win Butler Quotes
I had a somewhat religious upbringing. Not strict, but it was there, and I'm kind of thankful for that. If you grow up just watching MTV, that's its own form of religion, and it's not even based on happiness or communal responsibility. I mean, try to construct a worldview out of that.

There's so much bullying with young people and them feeling like they can't come out, and they don't know what to do. And it's something that you have to work through.
