#i write

I write my songs because I've lived them. ↗

Oh, I will always be honest with my music. The records are black boxes for me. Like if you want to know who I am, my views, my perspective, things I love, things I hate, my convictions, my anthems. I've never let people's opinions affect the way I write. ↗

With songs, I've always pledged to be honest. I write my songs because I've lived them. ↗

I started writing when I had three kids under the age of 4. I used to write every ten minutes I got to sit in front of a computer. Now, when I have more time, I function the same way: if it's writing time, I write. ↗

I write about all the horrible things that can happen to kids as a way of keeping those things from happening to mine. Write the books, spit three times over your shoulder and you're safe. ↗

I'm not going to tell a person how to think, don't believe in that. What I want to do, when I write these books, is just to say don't be so sure of yourself. Let me pull the carpet out from underneath you, and let's see if you can still find the footing. ↗

When I see somebody being mistreated, my eyes tear up and I want to stop it. And I believe that the best thing I can do is to write about it, because if I insert myself into the equation it doesn't really do much good, but if I write about it I think it could do more good. ↗

I don't work on my Sabbath. I write five-and-a-half or six days a week. ↗

I like writing. I get cranky when I can't. Yes, I write books back to back, and I work very hard on them. ↗

My dream has always been to suspend myself in space when I write, and lying horizontal in bed is the closest to doing that. ↗
