I don't think I could ever give up music. It's what makes me tick. If there was no music, there would be no writing.

I'm very easily distracted unless I have music on. Listening to music while I brainstorm makes me think of scenes that would fit the mood of the music I'm playing.

When I was a teen, I thought I would have to choose between my writing or my music or my art, but it turns out it's a difficult juggling game but I can do all of them.

You're like a song that I heard when I was a little kid but forgot I knew until I heard it again.
