I'll tell you why I like writing: it's just jumping into a pool. I get myself into a kind of trance. I engage the world, but it's also wonderful to just escape. I try to find the purities out of the confusion. It's pretty old-fashioned, but it's fun.
Grunts on the line, where the enemy wants them dead, still goof off - even knowing that by letting their guard down they might die.
I don't have to compete in the charts. I can just be myself as a musician, a songwriter and play with the musicians that I really love.
