The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.

Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.

My heart pumps yet the poison draught of you.

I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.

There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.

I know for works for me – those wonderful sad love songs.

Tears are the silent language of grief.

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.

I don’t know why, it’s the same reason why you like some music and you don’t like others. There’s something about it that you like. Ultimately I don’t find it’s in my best interests to try and analyze it, since it’s fundamentally emotional.

Since love first made the breast an instrument Of fierce lamenting, by its flame my heart Was molten to a mirror, like a rose I pluck my breast apart, that I may hang This mirror in your sight.
