I Think I Prefer The Constant Renewal.

It's Amazing When You Find A Photo Of Your Grandparents When They Were Young Because It's Black And White And The Care That They Put Into Their Appearance Back Then Was So Grown Up And Specific To That Era.

I've Never Been Drawn To Concert Dvds Because They Take Away The Part Of The Equation That's Most Important To Seeing A Live Show: Getting Jostled Around And Feeling The Energy In The Room. I Definitely Didn't Want To Make One Of Those.

When I Stopped Touring, It Was Like Trying To Stop A Bullet Train Or A Giant Lead Ball Falling From A 100 Stories Up - It's Momentum And It Doesn't Just Stop. I Drew A Line In The Calendar And Made It A Brick Wall And Just Stopped Dead. There Was No Other Way. It Would've Taken Another 100 Years To Slow Down Slowly. I Had To Let Myself Imagine A Calendar With No Lines; When Every Single Day Is Being Predetermined Six Months In Advance, There's No More Fluidity To Time.

I Said I'd Stop For A Year, Which Was Inconceivable To Me And Everyone Around Me. It Seemed Like So Long. But Then, After That Year, I Looked Up And I Still Hadn't Gotten My Land Legs Back At All.

I Think That's More A Reflection Of The Fact I've Never Been A Student Of Any Particular School Of Writing, Or Even Listening.
