“Art becomes great when people are able to see themselves and recognize themselves in it.”
“You’re gonna write a lot fewer songs, a lot fewer poems, a lot fewer books if you sit around and wait for a bolt of lightning. I think you should put the pencil in your hand, put the guitar in your lap. Generally from my experience that’s where the inspiration actually comes from. You have connected yourself to a lightning rod […], you’ve connected yourself to something that attracts inspiration.”
