I don't like singing before noon.
I don't need to manufacture trauma in my life to be creative. I have a big enough reservoir of sadness or emotional trauma to last me.
I do my best work when I am in pain and turmoil.
It's never easy to write a song. It's the most difficult thing I do.
I don't understand American football at all. It looks like all-in wrestling with crash helmets.
So just to be truthful to my own sensibility, I need to acknowledge that the season is not all joy and light for a lot of people. It's tough - environmentally, emotionally, spiritually.
