I'm very interested in writing - it just takes so much discipline, whether it's short stories or novels.
Movement has been one of the few constants in my life, and I always feel a great sense of optimism when I set off to a new place.
I have a terrible memory in general, but one thing I've always been able to remember is my songs.
