I've never had a study in my life. I'm like Jane Austen - I work on the corner of the dining table.
I did it my way, and I have no regrets when I look back on my career that it was just a big focus for me.
I put together the influences of my life in as clear a way as I possibly can, in the same way that Beethoven or Schoenberg or Bach put their influences together.
My life isn't that dramatic. My dad really loves me, he just can't talk on the phone. He's too crippled and shy, and that's almost harder. He's there and he loves me, and I try and try and try, it's just impossible to have a relationship.
There's a balance in my life. There's reality, and there's the part that looks really glamorous, but we're all just people in the end.
When I look back at my career and my life and how much I have learnt, I feel blessed with what I have. I have stopped fighting with myself.
Hip hop was definitely, far and away, the primary influence for at least 10 years of my life. From about 7 or 8 on till about 15 or 16, that's all I listened to.
I get very involved in my characters. Sometimes I have a very hard time separating my characters from my life.
Bobby Cox had the biggest influence in my career and probably the second- or third-biggest influence in my life.
