That's what music is for me. It's a place to go to.
In terms of writing, I think something happens to you, and you think, "Oh I'm going to write about that. That's an emotional event." But obviously, if you keep going, and it's something you do with regularity, you've got to find other ways to write.
You can't just be reactive to the things going on in your life. You have to imagine, and you have to plunder other people's work, books, poems, ideas, observations.
It's amazing, the amount of detail and thought that goes into just an average day. Between the things you see on the news, or on the subway, or whatever, it all gets in there. You sort of shut most of it out, but it all goes in.
In the creative act, you kind of reach down and look for things that will, when put together, create an emotional effect.
I don't know where emotion emanates from exactly. I'm full of it, that's all I know.
I don't really know why I'm such an emotional person, that's just how I was born. It's a problem. It's not easy to be married to me.
I don't know what I want, but I know what I don't want: I don't want to just repeat myself.
I'm absolutely flooded with a raucous energy to get out into the world and tell my story again. I feel like this is spring. After a period of shriveling, out come the leaves.
I find everything a struggle.
