I've Spent My Life Butting My Head

When I Start To Write A Song, I Initially Fall Into Patterns And Creative Habits That Are Familiar, And Because They're Familiar, They Sound Convincing. It's Important For Me To Not Pursue Those Ideas, Because I've Already Done Them, But To Find Ideas That Are Different And Feel Strange To Write And Disconcerting To Write.

I'm Very Happy To Hear That My Work Inspires Writers And Painters. It's The Most Beautiful Compliment, The Greatest Reward. Art Should Always Be An Exchange.

I Love Being Manipulated By What I See. I Love Weepies And Romantic Comedies Where You're Reaching For The Kleenex At The Right Moment.

All Of Our Days Are Numbered. We Cannot Afford To Be Idle. To Act On A Bad Idea Is Better Than To Not Act At All, Because The Worth Of An Idea Never Becomes Apparent Until You Do It.

My Biggest Fear Is Losing Memory Because Memory Is What We Are. Your Very Soul And Your Very Reason To Be Alive Is Tied Up In Memory.
