You know if I see a work that really I am very affected by and inspired by then it makes me want to try things with my work that maybe I hadn't considered trying before and I think that is the biggest complement that you can pay somebody.

Some people, like Leonard Cohen, write one album every 10 years, and labor over a song for five years at a time.

Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.

[Writing] has helped me meet people.

I like to be around things that I find inspiring.
