For me, writing is a way of thinking. I write in a journal a lot. I'm a very impatient person, so writing and meditation allow me to slow down and watch my mind; they are containers that keep me in place, hold me still.

Writing is a very focused form of meditation. Just as good as sitting in a lotus position.

I meditate. Meditation helps me.

Whether you're keeping a journal or writing as a meditation, it's the same thing. What's important is you're having a relationship with your mind.

I have always written only for myself - to clarify things, to clarify things with myself, to understand in an inner way what is actually happening.

I guess I usually write when I'm in a really intense headspace, because it's my form of self-therapy.

I don't meditate before I play or compose, but I see playing and composing as meditative acts.

I am particularly drawn to the form of meditation called Japa. I know it works.

I write to explore something that fascinates me, and I write the way I do because it is the only way I know how to write.

I believe in meditation - it's a good tool to centre yourself, but unfortunately, I'm too lazy to do it. It's very hard work, and I prefer to watch 'Nothing To Declare' on TV!
