I prefer writing in the mornings, so to that extent I have a routine. I do reading and other things in the afternoon.
I often write things, and then I think it's too personal for the Moodies. It's not something that I could share with other guys to say.
As time goes by, I realize that I do trust the wind. And I often write my songs for myself.
I learn a lot from acting, but it's not my natural way. I can't help but write; I do it all the time. It's a condition of being for me.
The horrible truth is that I am lazy and I am going to write and do bits that just hand themselves to me.
I like all music. Well, I don't like music that was created to make money. I don't really like bands that don't write their own music.
I hardly remember how I started to write poetry. It's hard to imagine what I thought poetry could do.
I must say, when I reread myself, it's the poetry I tend to look at. It's the most exciting to write, and it's over the quickest.
I'm not embarrassed about the novels I wrote when I was younger, but I couldn't write them today because of my religion.
I pretty much always wanted to write a series, because I love reading them.
I have an affinity for writing in the first person. I love the intimacy of being dropped inside the character.
In France, I discovered that I love writing in the city. There's such an intensity to being in the city that matches the intensity of what you're experiencing in your head.
When I was confronted with official tuition, the academic thing, I could see no relationship whatever between that and the music I'd been writing since I was 11.
I can't imagine ever not making music, making albums, writing songs, doing shows. That's all I really know, and that's all I really do.
I was not born into the world of the stuntman and the daredevil; I was born into the world of theater and writing and sculpting and classical music.
Well, I think that when you direct a movie or write it. And in the case of the two movies I did, I wrote and directed, they occupy a special place for you.
I can't remember why or how I started writing, but I think it was always a way of making sense of the world.
I read a lot of autobiographical stories, and I write plays and prose. And I play piano and cello. A lot of my downtime is devoted to that.
With 'New Rose Hotel,' I knew that I was getting paid a $100,000 fee to write, produce, and direct, and that's all I was going to get.
I long for, not a writer's retreat - I can write in any situation - but a reader's retreat.
I like to think that I am telling a story rather than writing it.
