I love playing with words and texture.

The sounds and rhythms of words are really important to me.

I listen to a lot of singers, because I find phrasing to be one of the most essential elements of playing.

When I am fascinated by something, I like to play with it.

I do love perusing the dictionary to find how many words I don't use - words that have specific, sharp, focused meaning. I also love the sound of certain words. I love the sound of the word pom-pom.

I like playing around with the words; I love it when I feel like I've picked the exact right word to describe whatever it is I'm trying to describe.

Playing is my way of thinking, talking, communicating.

I talk by playing, not by words.

I like to play 'Battleship,' and I also like 'Wordle' on iPhone. These are good things to play while you're on set. 'Words with Friends' is also great.

I like words. I like the way they clash around together and bang up against each other, especially in songs.
