    The theory on my part is to read; reading is the answer. Read anything that you can get your hands on. I would try to make sure that the author has something to say.

  • Quote

    It's weird being an author because it's different than writing songs. You put so much more of yourself out there to be judged because it's a memoir. So when the reviews come in, they all feel really personal. Some people are just going to hate you no matter what. Personally, I never believe good reviews.
