I've got quite a few inspirations - the list is kind of endless!

I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.

I'm very inspired by past music.

I have felt great advances in my poetry, the main one being a growing victory over word nuances and a superfluity of adjectives.

Most of my inspiration, if that's the word, came from books themselves.

I do like alternative rock and rap, but as far as inspirational, then I go full-on orchestra. It fills up your entire being.

I have truly eclectic taste in music, and I seem to cycle through phases in terms of to what's inspiring me. I'll go from Beethoven to Sigur Ros; world music, Brit-pop, classic rock, blues/jazz, even the odd bit of heavy metal.

I don't know what the inspiration for most of songs really mean until I finish them. For the most part, I'm going for a visceral impression, and I write the words last.
