In my younger days, I was trying to write sophisticated prose and fantastic stories.
Until you dig a hole, you plant a tree, you water it and make it survive, you haven't done a thing. You are just talking.
If you are a reliable, honest journalist, sources will open up and trust you and share good information.
I don't get to go to the super fancy stores unless I am in L.A. so you stay pretty real and normal that way.
As a journalist, you're always worried, 'Did I get the full story?'
I had always written. I had written stories and poems. Then I started writing plays.
When I went in, my editor said, 'I hope you don't think you're a writer.' And I said, 'I hope you don't think I'm a journalist.' And, uh, turned out we were both right.
My mother wanted us to understand that the tragedies of your life one day have the potential to be comic stories the next.
But then you have to write a song, so at that point, I picked up the reins and started to write lyrics.
