So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well.

I also write poems, so that is something that I really enjoy.

I write my lyrics into the computer and I hum my music into the dictaphone.

I don't write for an auditorium full of people. I don't write for the microphone; I write for the page.

When I write, I'm not trying to be funny. It's the way I look at the world.

I say I'm an academic: a professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins. And I write.
