When it comes to the personal essays I write, I just convince myself that no one will ever read them.
I write because it feels good, and I don't have a deadline, and I don't have people telling me what they want me to write. Maybe if I did, I wouldn't be very good at it.
I don't put a lot of description in the books because I write books the way I like to read them, and that is I like to build images and be a creative reader, and so I write that way.
I don't like to read things that people write about me. I'd rather read what kids have to say about me because it's not their profession to do that.
I like people who tell stories. I like storytellers. A lot of my songs are misconceived as being auto-biographical when they're not because I write in the first person.
The thing is, fairytales were once a very gritty way for people to dialogue about aspects of life.
We like to wait to a point where we have to get in there and write a record because we're just so built up.
I am my biggest critic. Even in films where people said they liked me, I have disliked myself.
I read what I write over and over and make corrections and improvements, until I reach the conclusion that the material deserves to stand on its own.
