You marry your friends when you stay with your friends. It's hard enough to find a good roommate, let alone a good person you can live with and fall in love with at the same time. You might as well just take your roommate, if you can find one, and marry them. I mean, if you can find somebody that doesn't drive you crazy, I would say marry that.

I remember being very psyched for our first tours, despite not knowing about the endless stream of situations and setbacks that we'd face.

I've learned that I shouldn't shrink from success. Though honestly I thought they'd be knocking on my door years ago.

At 35, I'm thinking, Oh, I don't have any of that initial inspiration that I had before, all that angst. I always thought I would burn out very quickly.

I procrastinate, and I push writing to the last available moment, because I don't like to settle on anything. I guess you can call it indecision or you can call it holding out for inspiration.

As for performing live, I just never imagined how it would work out; for good reason, because it doesn't just work out - not the way you think it will. It's a chance that you take.

You can pout about the way the world is as long as you want, but that's not going to change it. You've got to figure it out.
