If I ever meet a writer or a painter, I don't presuppose that they are like the work they are presenting.

Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.

The devil wanders into my soul.

I do take enormous interest in what's going on. I try to see whatever I can, whenever I can.

I'm not an autobiographical writer, but I am a writer who deals with human emotion on all levels.

I feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.

I think I'm a maker of songs, and songs are like films or a picture: You put them over there, and they have nothing to do with you.
