I don't read as much as I'd like. I've been writing a lot. I've been doing a lot of music, but I don't read as much as I should. I just don't.
It's nice to be wanted. That's a really good feeling. I'm not immune to it.
I wait and take on projects that I think can work.
I stand up for what I believe. I don't know if it's always paid off for me, because I've been ridiculed and humiliated.
You have to try to dismiss the loudness of cynicism. It's certainly going to come.
I don't go against the grain because I'm a contrary person.
