I think I get certain pleasure from writing what I'm performing.

I think weather affects my mood a lot more than I thought, and I like to be in bad moods sometimes.

My painting teacher in high school used to say, 'I can't paint like I want to, but through practice I'll get better.' But I don't think that's true. I think sometimes you just can't paint.
