One wants one's work to be the world, but of course it's never the world. The work is in the world; it never contains the whole thing.
The closest place that I feel like I come to having religious moments is always musical.
I love out-of-the-way, rugged places. For me, holidays are about the experiences, and the people, and the memories, rather than sitting on a nice beach getting tanned. I try to plant myself where I am and embrace what is there in front of me.
