I like a very dark house, just black. I sit there and just think. Once I'm still and quiet inside, I'll begin. It's very personal; it has to be. One song may be Bach, the next blues, a song from TV, or a nursery rhyme or jazz piece. ↗

I left the fairy tales lying on the floor of the nursery, and I have not found any books so sensible since. ↗
