It is clear that we do not exactly choose our poems; our poems choose us.
Someone asked me if I play piano because I feel like I have a protective wall around me. Maybe. I am really messed up.
I never really know what I'm playing. I just follow what sounds good in my head and keep going.
I write everything. I have that control issue with my music. That's why I'm not in a band.
I was so dyslexic as a kid, and still am, and music was such a great form of escape to me. At school I'd keep my head down and try not to get beat up, and then I'd get home and music would be like a drug to me.
I love making music but with that comes a lot of responsibility and you have to put yourself out there more. I'm learning as I go. The music has drawn me out of my shell. It's made me open my door a little more and be able to look at people in the eye. In that sense of the word, it has been helpful to me so I am happy now.
Someone asked me if I was a method actor - I loved that! I needed to know what it felt like to lose everything just to do the Bad Day video! I could really feel the angst!
As an actor, you very rarely have the experience of picking up a script and getting a few pages into it and realizing that what you're holding in your hands is not just a role on a TV show, but it's one of those special parts that comes along, once or twice in a career. If you're lucky, you get an opportunity to do something really memorable and to be part of one of those rare shows that passes into that special category.
If there's something you know and there's something you feel, but you can't quite express it, you will hear it somewhere. And you don't have to worry, because someone will get it sung out.
We all come from dysfunctional families and these days I guess that's pretty normal.
To behold the day-break! The little light fades the immense and diaphanous shadows, The air tastes good to my palate.
