The book, you understand, was not written for publication. It was the portrayal of my emotions, the analysis of my own soul life during three months of my nineteenth year. I wrote then all the time, just as I do now, but, though the book is in diary form, it is not a diary.
People know my lyrics; they know the stuff I've written, and it's all about life, love, happiness, and these big euphoric moments.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
