I was pretty tough and serious in my 20s.
The way I work is mostly unconscious and instinctive.
Certain people have the eye of the tiger, and I never was myself that kind of person, although I'm not a slacker.
I love the feeling of nostalgia vying with the present. That can be from song to song, or within the same song.
I think I am a late-bloomer. My taste in music just keeps getting better.
Most of the time, the creative part is like playing in a sandbox. I can sit here and work for 12 hours and not get tired of it.
