My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It's the only thing I find interesting.

We're living in a certain time, and we're aware of it. And that's part of what we're aware of, along with our own personal aches and pains.

I try to open up my heart as much as I can and keep a real keen eye out that I don't get sentimental. I think we're all afraid to reveal our hearts. It's not at all in fashion.

You want to be a writer, don't know how or when? Find a quiet place, use a humble pen.

I have my books and my poetry to protect me
