Maybe you're a singer or not, but what taps into the soul leads to the heart, and that's really what I came away with, with the starting point for the record being that I could speak as a human being and feel things very deeply.

You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.

It's so interesting to me how songs take on a shape and body of their own and grow.

It's good to feel excited by the environment you're in.

I grab an instrument to make my body a song, but I'm not a player as such, maybe a little more on guitar, but certainly not piano.

I did photography, painting, and drawing, but I prefer sculpture. I like it because it's very physical.

If you want to be good at anything, you have to work hard at it. It doesn't just fall from the sky. I work every day at trying to improve my writing, and I really enjoy it. Nothing fascinates me more than putting words together, and seeing how a collection of words can produce quite a profound effect.
