Quote

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.

I'm writing about emotions.

I'm just not very comfortable talking about my emotions on a normal, day-to-day basis.

I try to transmit emotion and soul in my voice, but my true passion has always been writing. I feel more like a writer than anything else.

Writing is a solitary profession; you are really alone when you write. Then the emotions become well shaped and distinct. But their transition into words must be done deliberately and with rigid artistry.

I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.

I seem to have a natural tendency to want to share my own observations and feelings with other people, and writing seems to be the way I'm best equipped to do that.

I have always used emotion as a writing tool. That goes back to me being on the stage.

I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve; I write about them.
