A million words were going through my head and honestly I didn't say one of them. I wanted to let it sit, simmer, you know I wanted to soak it all in - the moment was amazing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have to choose my words carefully because I don't want to sound like one of those who goes on about how things were better in my day.
One of the big breakthroughs I had as a writer was when I stopped agonising over every word.
As someone who gets nervous in silences, I spill words rather than really think.
I had to see and feel and be with the thing that I wanted to write about.
The moment that I realized my name was going to be said in the same sentence as children and sex, that's really intense. That's something I knew from that very moment, whatever happens past that point, something's out there in the air that is really bad.
In the past, some of the songs that were the most fun, and the most entertaining and rocking, fell by the wayside because I was concerned with what I was going to say and how I was going to say it.
The words walked right out of my mouth.
I didn't have to say it. I just had to write it. It was painful enough.
I was listening to all those lyrics and trying to take in everything that was happening. I was completely excited. It was one of the greatest times that I had listening to music.
Everything I was feeling, all the hurt and the pain and the emotion I was going through, I put into my music.
