"When I grew up music was something I did on the side - I played sports, I went to school - and so music was always there, and I was really fortunate to have that, but so were so many other things."

I can't compose or play music; I'm not that fortunate. But I can write and I can talk and sometimes when I'm doing either of these things I realize that I've written a sentence or uttered a thought that I didn't absolutely know I had in me... until I saw it on the page or heard myself say it.
