I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way.
When I get depressed, or anything, I go ‘think of all the music I haven’t even heard yet!’ So, it’s the one thing. Imagine the world without music. Man, just hand me a gun, will you?
If anyone tells you there is only one way, their way, get as far away from them as possible, both physically and philosophically.
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination.
