No matter how far apart we are, don't forget that we're still under the same sky, both traveling to the place we once dreamed of.
Everyone has a secret. Right? Of course I have a secret. I think maybe you too?
If I write when I'm low, it will be a dark song, but I don't care. I want to be honest with myself at all times.
It's hard to decide how to match words to music. It's not like it's twice the work. It's always difficult for me to explain to the composer what I'm looking for. I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music
I always like whatever I did most recently. It's the closest to who I am at the moment.
In the beginning, I was searching for myself in my music. My music was for me. I didn't have the mental room to be conscious of the listener; I wrote to save myself.
I read and watch movies. I can't go to the movie theater much anymore, though, because I get recognized. It's worse sometimes if I wear a costume and try not to get recognized. I watch most of my films on airplanes
The way I work, typically, I do everything at the very last minute. Even if I was given two months, I'd do it in the last three days
Though my heart is filled with feelings I want to convey You see, I can't express them in words If I had not met you I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain
Even in my age now, I'm the same as before and just as fearful I only learn how to pretend to be strong
Certainly everyone, in order to protect love, Certainly wishes to believe in something
In a city [world] as dirty as this, You gather up, save, and show me Purely beautiful things.
A woman could be having fun A woman could be like a nun In order to survive We cannot be kind Until we are hurt
Surely, no one hoped for so many things. Hold the flowers close to your heart; they may someday bloom.
