Don't uncork what you can't contain

My intellect has always been more responsible than my emotions for how I respond to the world.

I still feel conflicted because I don't always get to spend as much time with my daughter as I'd like, given my work.

Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.

I think that if you have a strong narrative, if the idea of the song can be boiled down to the basics, it won't change that much.

You have to defend your honor. And your family.

If you have to fight a crowd of boys, it's best to go for the biggest one. That way you won't have to fight them all. The others will see that you mean business and you will win their respect.
