Quote

For me, music was the only reason I went to school. I was kind of a street kid, in a lot of trouble committing crimes and stuff. Music gave me something to focus on.

Music was something I was encouraged to do, which I appeared to be quite good at, but it was never a passion. Writing was always my first love.

When I was younger I was obsessed with writing, so even if I wanted to listen, I didn't have time.

Music - it's the only thing that can enter your system, your mind, your heart, without your permission.

Music is the doorway that has led me to drawing, photography, and writing.

Writing music is just something that I was born to do.

Music for me, it demands full concentration.

The music of language became extremely important to me, and obvious to me. By the time I was seven I was writing myself. I was a poet.

Music is my biggest passion aside from anything else.

When I first started to get into writing, it was via music. I'd generate ideas for songs that would turn into stories, then they'd turn into novels. I was biased toward music.
