David is purely a conceptual artist. He didn't play any instruments or paint or anything. We were painters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the early days, I was everything to David. I was his creative partner, his lover, his soul mate.
If a band is really good and the chemistry is unique, it should continue. But I guess David is just very happy doing his solo career. He's got a different band every time he goes out.
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
My grandfather was not a musician but he was an artist - a painter, a decorative painter.
Looking back, I can see that my life with David was molded by forces beyond my control and even my understanding. Still, I don't regret trying.
David was the kind of guy who was totally supportive of the actors and instructed the writing staff to trust the actor's instincts, since after all, it's the actors playing the character.
The thing is David is also aware of everything and it's not like you're going somewhere the director is not.
I don't know how much love David felt - I suspect very little. My main appeal to him was as a nurse, cook, housekeeper, creative ally, and business adviser.
Watching David write was inspiring to me. He was at his most content composing. Music floated from his mind and fingertips. He would strum the 11 strings on his 12-string Harptone guitar and wander to the piano and play a few bars, then off to forage for rice pudding in the kitchen.
I'd never take any credit for David's music - that's all his.
