Fascination with horses predated every other single thing I knew. Before I was a mother, before I was a writer, before I knew the facts of life, before I was a schoolgirl, before I learned to read, I wanted a horse.
People who are thinking about your music almost as much as you are, that almost never happens.
I devoured everything on the radio, I felt like I knew music.
For a deeper interest in the Moon than I ever felt before.
I think it is good when something can stay interesting for a long time. It's not just a trend for one month.
If you're going to spend two or three years immersed in a subject, you better be deeply interested in it, or it won't be interesting to the reader.
The thing is, my education was music. I knew I'd be playing music no matter what. That's all I thought about, I was obsessed with it. I'm still obsessed with it. It gets the best of me sometimes.
With such a deep rooted interest you can withstand the setbacks and failures, the days of drudgery, and the hard work that are always a part of any creative action. You can ignore the doubters and critics. You will then feel personally committed to solving the problem and will not rest until you do so.
