Quote

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

I'm writing about emotions.

I write based on how I feel.

Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.

When I write, I just let my characters go, the way I let life go.

I just sort of write the book I feel like writing given the emotional place I am in my life at the time.

Oh yeah; I love when I'm writing something that makes me cry - that's so cool. If it got me to do that, it's going to get someone else to do that.

Generally, I think most of my writing tends to have some kind of magical element to it. That's the way I can access the emotional life of the character.

I keep writing because it is deeply pleasurable to me.

Writing is an extremely rewarding and humbling process, and I've learned to go with it, that even if it feels absolutely impossible, I will find a way to tell the next story.
