I never listen to music when I write.

With my own memoirs, they are truthful, and I write everything fully expecting to some day end up televised on Court TV, and I'm fully prepared to be challenged legally on it.

Once I decided to write, to be published, I knew it would happen.

But I can also write in crappy motel rooms, while standing in line, or sitting in the dentist's chair.

I write to escape; to escape poverty.

I write my music.
