Drama school is fundamentally practical. I didn't write any essays, so I came out with a BA honors degree in acting.
It was such a paradox for me that the only thing I know how to do is act, but that the first thing I abandoned while writing were the characters.
I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies.
I want to do public speaking and cause campaigning. I want to write a book.
I'm not in any rush. I'm not somebody who, if I write a song, I get it out. That's not something I've ever really quite done.

My vocal ability is very limited, but I'm fortunate in that I can write the songs around my vocal limitations.
When I sit down to write a song, I really want the message of healing to thrive and transcend all ages.
I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do ever - was write novels.
Many children make up, or begin to make up, imaginary languages. I have been at it since I could write.
I never know, when I start writing a story, what's going to happen, or how it will all get sorted out.
Bon Jovi is most definitely the key to how I am able to write so much in a day
For my type of story and my kind of writing, I think 'Vanity Fair' is the right forum.
When you're reading, you're not where you are; you're in the book. By the same token, I can write anywhere.
When I write the set, I try to create something that will not only be interesting for the audience, but will have a flow for the band, too, so we don't get boring.
