I love working on a typewriter - the rhythm, the sound; it's like playing the piano, which I do, too.

Sometimes I think my writing sounds like I walked out of the room and left the typewriter running.

When I write, I want something to sound good itself.

It took me 20 years to buy an electric typewriter, because I was afraid it would be too sensitive. I like to bang the keys. I'm doing action stories, so that's the way I like to do it.

The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me.

I'm kind of a Luddite myself. I've got a bunch of typewriters at home. I'm a big fan of old technology.

I write alternative, folkie pop. It's very acoustic.

Before I liked to write, I liked to type. I remember visiting my grandmother Adele in Ponce Inlet, Florida, when I was three years old, and she had an IBM electric typewriter.

For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.
