Quote

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

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.

I write emotional music.

I have always used emotion as a writing tool. That goes back to me being on the stage.

I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.

The reason I write is that I'm not in dialogue with my emotions; writing puts me in touch with myself.

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

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

I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve; I write about them.

I tend to write it and then let go emotionally.
