Composing demands a degree of isolation.

When I'm writing, I'm in an isolation chamber. I'm not one to think about that outside world stuff when I'm writing.

I like the idea of isolation. I like the reality of it. You realize what you are... not that the knowledge is inevitably rewarding.

There's something to be said in favor of working in isolation in the real world.

Isolation doesn't bother me at all. It gives me a sense of security.

Part of me still feels like I've never had the opportunity to properly express all my earliest influences, so for now, I find isolation to be my biggest influence.

My life and my work are very interlocked. That's partly why I like to keep my private life private.

You're always putting yourself into your work. There's no separation; it's just how you use yourself and transform.

I am isolated as an artist, not as a person.

Isolation is a self-defeating dream.
