For me, moving is always a big opportunity. Its just a enough of a shift in outlook that every time I move, it seems to open something up.

Our [former] governor [Pat McCrory] was supposed to be a moderate, but he found himself beholden to people who have much more draconian ideas. I think he assumed this stuff flew under the radar.

The possibility of disaster remains horrific to me. Like when you know everything's about to go wrong in a way that's not controllable or knowable.

I was 14 or 15 when I discovered poetry, and I pretty much stopped writing prose until Master of Reality.

It usually happens that I have multiple different projects going on at once, and one can be referencing the other.

There are real teachers out there; I don't pretend to have their mantle.

I couldn't name more than a couple of good drum'n'bass acts, and I have no idea what's big in the dance world right now.
