Everything's Been A Struggle For Me.

I Wanted To Be A Writer. I Still Want To Be A Prose Writer. I Feel I Am More Temperamentally Suited To That Kind Of Life, Although There Are Things I Still Want To Do With Music.

When I Start Writing, I'll Have A Vague Concept Or I'll Just Have A Title, And The Song Just Goes On Its Own Direction. Usually It Goes In Many Directions Within Each Song. They Get Really Convoluted Sometimes.

Physically Touring Is Tough On Me, Not That I Am Weakling. I Lose Weight. I Can't Always Find The Things I Need To Keep My Strength Up. It Is Very Draining Physically. It Is Taxing For My Mind And Body, But In A Good Way. It Feels Healthy In A Way To Purge Things Out Of My System Every Night.

My Guitar Playing Has Not Developed As Much As I Think It Could Because I Never Practice. I Only Play When I'm Writing Or Recording Or When I'm Playing On Tour. When I'm Sitting Around At Home, I Never Play.

I Make Music And I Can't Stop. It's A Compulsion And An Obsession And A Curse.
