There is something else at work here that is beyond me - and that is Laura. She has a life of her own. There is a magic in her. The muse is in her. And I'm lucky to have her in my life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Today she is the lady of death, which I believe is the best muse to have.
I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good. But I don't know that she's ever had a real job - I mean, since she's been grown up.
To be honest, my partner Natasha is my inspiration. She is who I reference when searching for my role. I don't emulate what she does, but her interpretation of Giselle is so fragile and sensitive and so tender. It constantly inspires me. And I feel like it's the other way around. We have a great rapport together.
I show up in my writing room at approximately 10 A.M. every morning without fail. Sometimes my muse sees fit to join me there and sometimes she doesn't, but she always knows where I'll be. She doesn't need to go hunting in the taverns or on the beach or drag the boulevard looking for me.
I have been a muse to Mr. Saint-Laurent, Valentino, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Versace.
My muse is my wife. It's not some vague thing that flutters around the astrosphere or wherever it is. Sometimes as a songwriter you need something to hang a song on, to give it some kind of presence and form. For me, Susie is that.
I adore being with Roberta. I adore being in her spiritual light. I adore being close to her talent and gifts.
I'm working on a bunch of things with my daughter Emily. In some ways, she's a smarter and better editor than I am.
I guess my husband is a muse as well.
I am my own muse, the subject I know best.
