There's nightingales calling, shooting stars falling, like jewels in the rain.

I guess I'm just a heart-on-sleeve type of human being.

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.

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.

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.
