I write to try to find out who I am. One of my main themes is manliness. I think I'm trying to figure out what manliness really is.
I know it sounds trite but I wanted to make a difference. Political debates with my father had been fraught because he was uncompromising and explosive but if he taught me one thing it was to air my views.
I snapped my fingers all through it. Sometimes I set my own tempo during rehearsal by doing that.
