Writing is something that I practice at every day to get better at.

I studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.

Well, I'm quite a self-deprecating person.

In the same way, I write some of my more difficult pieces when I'm at very happy stages in my life.

I think of myself as a songwriter, a weaver of story and imagination in a way that a novelist might write a book.

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.

Never settle for anything less than you want.
