I sort of was good at writing essays. I was never very good at mathematics, and I was never very good at algebra. I loved science, but I wasn't sure of it.
It's a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn't even know that I could write songs.

If I could make money making armpit farts, I would. But since I can't, I teach. And write.
I used to work very long hours. Then I started to realize that the stuff that I was writing in the late afternoons, I was generally throwing out. So I quit earlier than I used to.
If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want - I go to the bathroom.
I really tend to write in retrospect.
