"I like sitting in the dark and watching people far more talented than I'll ever be sing my songs and say my words. It's thrilling."

Writing for me always requires trickery. Tricking myself into sitting down, letting words tumble out until you find the good ones. It's sort of a trance. And when a piece is done, I have little memory of how I wrote it, and zero confidence I'd ever be able to do it again.
