The type of band that I have now, the type of music that we're playing you either like it or you dislike it. If you dislike it, you probably don't know why. By the same token, you can't even really say why you like it. ↗

Perfection is an unattainable goal. It isn't going to be perfect. Just get words down on paper, and when you stumble to what you think is the end of the book, you will have hundreds of pages of words that came out of your head. It may not be perfect, but it looks like a book. ↗

What we prefer to read is sort of like sexual preference, you like what you like. Most of the time you have no clue why. ↗

And the fact that I liked to show off and be the center of attention really lends itself to figure skating very well. ↗
