Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic who listens to love ballads and doo-wop songs all the time.

• I'm 36 and if I met a woman of my own age and married her, I'd also be marrying her former life, her past. It might be OK for some people - I don't want to judge it or anything - but it's not for me. It would destroy my creativity.
• Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.
• I need to do things on my own, need to be left alone.
• Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.
• Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
• I have always thought that change you can see and feel is best.
• I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that.
• The only difference between me and others is that they think they can change something with cute little poems, nice cards or embracing trees and being nice to little lapdogs.
• I want to change things for the better, just like everybody else.
• I have always thought that change you can see and feel is best.
