Stories are the untested, uninvestigated theories that tell us what all these things mean. We don’t even realize that they’re just theories.

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.

I like involved projects. I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical.
