My relationship to all my family in Ireland is more to family as a whole. It wasn't that we had a very specific one-on-one relationship.

You might not be riding high on a great show for as long because you didn't have people to share the joy with.

I could hunker down by myself and listen closely to mixes, but then to be able to have a sounding board of peers to get advice and feedback.

I really am planning on living to be 100. People ask, "Why are you so depressed?" I'm actually a very happy person.

It's not a morbid thing, but I think I've never been afraid of death, which is maybe why I love writing about it.
