I'm not writing just about melancholy stuff anymore, I made a point to cover a wide range of emotions.

I find writing the darker side, writing tragedy, a lot easier than writing happiness. Happiness is just less psychologically compelling, isn't it?

I think melancholy is part of the natural condition, you know. Anyway, I think it's the artist's function to have their melancholy and not hide it, you see.

'Melancholy' is prettier than 'depression'; it connotes a kind of nocturnal grace. Makes one feel more innocently beleaguered.

Melancholy is no bad thing.

I'm always drawn to melancholy personalities.

I think every human being has a level of melancholy in life and in general.

In such a diversity it was impossible I should be disposed to melancholy.

I like the contrast in making something that sounds sunny but also has an element of melancholy to it.

There is a melancholy that stems from greatness.
