I would love to continue in music with writing... but I am not the kind of person who will hang around if I start to become irrelevant. If that happens I will bow down gracefully raise my kids and have a garden. And I am going to let my hair go gray when I am older. I don't need to be blonde when I'm 60!

I don't want to limit myself musically. It would be really limiting if we'd neglect something we really want to do like explore other styles of music.

Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ass.

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed dumb and silent when all else sings together in unison?

He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake since for him the spinal cord would suffice.

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.

The Marines was a fresh start - that is why they shave your head. I wish they would let you change your name.

I know people who grow old and bitter. I want to keep making a fresh start. I don't want them to defeat me. That would be suicidal.

I can still love an ex as a person regardless if the breakup was bad. I would never wish anything negative on them. It takes more energy to hate them than to wish them well.

I find playwriting really painful. I love it or I wouldn't do it but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.
