I love to cook. I love to cook for myself and my husband and big groups. I find it very relaxing, and I love socializing around a dinner table.
I could release myself into acting in a way that I was not released socially.
Growing up in a specific area has a certain sociological and economic reason, so I'm interested in using myself as a case study to look as those things.
I see myself working in the tradition of sociology and journalism that tries to bear witness to poverty.
I see myself writing in the tradition of urban ethnography and in the tradition of the sociology of poverty.
I like to read my diary occasionally to remind myself what a miserable, alienated old sod I used to be.
I think you can soften people's hearts, even if they have a lot of hate. Music can do that if it's beautiful and honest. If I can do that - soften just one person's heart - I consider myself successful already.
I was always very softly spoken and kinda looked after myself.
I don't consider myself to be a major talent, so the only solace I can take is to hope I'm growing.
I've found great solace in finally taking care of myself and others.
I find solace in immersing myself in my work.
I see myself as a composer who plays music and likes to play with other people, and not just as a solo artist.
I get a little sick of myself as a solo artist. I get a little bit bored.
I've always looked on myself as one of a band and never sought a solo career.
I have always wanted a solo career, deep in the darkest pit of myself, but I didn't dare admit it to myself even. It took me a long time to confront my fears.
I am a songwriter at heart, and I feel like I would, in the future, write songs for other people. I don't think I want to pursue it for myself, for a solo career.
I don't regard myself as a soloist. It's a color; I put it in for excitement. It's not great loss if a solo has to go. We've made songs without solos.
With solos, I don't like to be too prepared going in - I like to surprise myself.
I don't myself believe in a two-state solution. I believe in a one-state solution.
I'm very confident with who I am and how I lead, and I'm a problem solver and like to keep myself on my toes.
