Conventional Indian cinema is about people falling in love. They sing, they dance.
Every song is something that I've been through or an emotion I've felt - like falling in love or heartbreak.
I think it's easy for me to connect to some people, and I don't know if that's the same thing as falling in love whereas before, I might have said it was.
The first song I wrote was called 'Here I Go Falling In Love' I wrote it in the sixth grade.
I was always falling in love at a very young age - kindergarten is when I can remember. There was always a crush. And when I was in sixth grade, I started picking up guitar, so I started wanting to write about it and sing about it.
I just loved playing a man who was unafraid of making an idiot of himself in the process of falling in love. I found that admirable.
If we had no hope - for a cure, for winning the lottery, for falling in love, for the end of war, for being free of abuse, or for having food, warmth, clothing, and shelter - we would have no reason to go on. What you hope for doesn't matter, but rather the essence of hope itself.
In terms of my marriage, you know, falling in love with my husband was by far the best thing that's ever happened to me.
I always wrote. I wrote from when I was 12. That was therapeutic for me in those days. I wrote things to get them out of feeling them, and onto paper. So writing in a way saved me, kept me company. I did the traditional thing with falling in love with words, reading books and underlining lines I liked and words I didn't know.
