A poet can survive everything but a misprint.

I don’t ask writers about their work habits. I really don’t care. Joyce Carol Oates says somewhere that when writers ask each other what time they start working and when they finish and how much time they take for lunch, they’re actually trying to find out, ‘Is he as crazy as I am?’ I don’t need that question answered.

Every song is a story, and every note is an emotion.

Progress is not inevitable; it is the result of deliberate choices and actions.

音乐是我的语言，也是我的沉默。
