There's usually a rhythm and a melody in my head, and that creates an emotional state

I try to be the fixer of situations and I gravitate to people who are institutional misfits.

Am I a rock star? Yeah, I guess.

What we value about music and literature are the moments that they create in our minds when we encounter them.

Books stay with me and have shaped me and made huge impacts on my life.

I have this really beautiful Martin guitar, and it just kind of writes songs for me.

I've spent several years now with my head down.
