I don't want to sound too Oprah-ish or anything like that, but I really believe that if you have the power to imagine particular things, you have the ability to transform them.

Immigrants use the library often. A lot of them don't have access to books and Internet at home. They seem so disconnected to the city.

Usually one or two things happen: Either you have an idea straightaway - the sort of sound that you want or the instrumentation or one particular sound that you want to feature - or you don't.

I sort of make believe. That's why I like acting. You can create or imagine anything.

I had no real idea I was going to become a writer. It was just a game for me. I just liked pretending, daydreaming and imagining.

I don't really like to promote anything, but I will promote things I believe in and things that work.
