Quotes
I wake up around noon, light a cigarette, get a cup of coffee, sit in the bathtub for an hour and daydream, and I usually come up with some ideas... It's a very irresponsible life. The only decisions I make are about the notes I'm writing.
If something happened where I couldn't write music anymore, it would kill me. It's not just a job. It's not just a hobby. It's why I get up in the morning.
You have to remain flexible, and you must be your own critic at all times.
If the secret should be known, which is not much of a secret at all, this is my hobby I love doing this. Anything else feels like work to me.
