My wife and family, to say the least, are the center of my life; they are my grounding. I don't want to sound schmaltzy, but they are my inspiration and you name it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My children were the center of my life.
I'm incredibly close to my family. I have two younger brothers; they're both artists and actors, and their work and the way they see the world inspires me.
My parents and my grandmother inspire me every day and, every day, in my work and personal life.
My little boy, West, and my wife, they're my rock and that's the thing that keeps driving me to do better at what I do professionally. There was a time in my career where I had been on this huge roller coaster ride and I'd really got in the spot where I could've hung up it and just been a songwriter.
My family's a very musical family, so music's always been a part of my life.
In my own life, I share my home with works by artists like Elizabeth Murray, Martin Puryear, Jackie Windsor and so many others, whose creativity is clear and fresh and compelling; the works break through the usual, and they inspire creativity; they inspire responses and understanding.
My original inspiration was my mom: a few years after the death of my dad, she started dating one my teachers!
My father is my inspiration.
All my children inspire me in life, and that always comes out in the writing.
My inspiration are the woman, friendship, and loneliness.
