Any musician who can stop may be a musician, but they're no artist. If it's in your blood, it can't stop flowing.

The hack songwriter will write the absolute truth every single word, whether it makes a great song or not.

The best I can say is that it's better for me to write about despair and darkness than to be incapable of getting off the sofa. It's better to write about suicide than to contemplate it too heavily.
