If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door.

Sometimes I highjack memories. Sometimes I switch them around. Sometimes they're just in the background, like some little bass note. Those things have carried me through, especially when I first started writing. They're still there, but more in the distance these days.

I've also never written anything really in LA.

It's so hard to say what you really mean. For any number of reasons: to protect yourself, or if you just can't find the words.

I don't write to put it in a drawer, I hope that people see it.

Why are the mainstream buzz things rarely contemporary? It doesn't happen very often. It's hard to feel culpable or implicated or even apathetic.
