When I do have time to work on music, I'm kind of selfish, and would rather work on my own stuff than someone else's.

I guess the most emotional part is when I have that moment when I end up writing something that I really, really love. So not only is there the emotional connection with the music that's being created, but there's also the magic of the fact that you're essentially creating something from nothing.

By being vulnerable, either with yourself or in the presence of another person, that’s where all growth and ultimate well-being comes from.
