I got a lot of problems, but I'm really good at intuiting what I need to do to be happy with whatever I create. I know when to stop myself, I know when to start, I know when to leave something alone. I guess I just kind of indulge that completely, and so I just take my time.

I like the idea of the idler wheel - it just sits in between things, but it makes such a big difference in the way that the machine is working. That concept has always been something that has interested me, but I didn't really know why.

Most of the time you need something to fight against. If something is bothering me, then the only way to get past it is to work through it.

I'm here because of what I write. Obviously, I must know something

I was so self-critical. I still am, but it's not as bad anymore.

I used to love to make things - you couldn't drag me away for dinner because I was always writing a story or something.

These days I don't know who really likes me. I always assume most people are bullshitting me.
