I work in silence.

I live alone, so I don't really talk to anyone once I'm home. I have some silent nights.

The only time I don't work is when I am asleep.

There are lots of things that keep me awake at night, but work isn't one of them. I mean, no-one's going to die if someone doesn't like what I do. So I don't feel a great pressure.

I like to work from home. I do most of my writing in bed, late at night after everyone has gone to sleep. I need to be alone with my thoughts, and late at night is about the only time that can actually happen.

I'm usually alone or asleep, at home.

For me, there is no day or night for music. I often work through the night - without phone calls disturbing me.

I write best late at night, when everyone in the house has gone to bed. There's something magical about that late night silence that appeals to me.

With my hours, I don't hang out with anybody. I work and come home to my Upper West Side apartment.

I need quiet and solitude to work. Darkness is best. If I am wide awake, I can't write.
