That was one of the lessons I had to learn – just relax and play. Don’t worry about what’s happened in the past; don’t worry what’s going to happen in the future. You are playing a game you dreamed your whole life about playing. There’s no sense in ruining it by worrying or doubting.
Character development is what I value most as a reader of fiction. If an author can manage to create the sort of characters who feel fully real, who I find myself worrying about while I’m walking through the grocery store aisles a week later, that to me is as close to perfection as it gets.

I write songs as honestly as I can without worrying about genres or labels. Sometimes I sing, and sometimes I rap, and sometimes I do something in between. I jump around on stage and don’t care too much about how I look. I try to be myself even though I’m still figuring myself out.
I’m not one of those writers that sits worrying about posthumous fame.

I know that I am an excellent live performer. I know that I have spent my life paying attention to my art form, developing my art form, worrying about my show and what it is I’m bringing to people, making sure that I give them a fine trade. They get a two-hour show, sometimes a three-hour show, for a decent price.

I’ve been in situations where someone has told me that my video made them uncomfortable. This was a straight man, and I really don’t want to have to worry about making him uncomfortable. I should really be worrying about my own comfort and me putting out the best art that I can.
I think there’s an anxiety in life where we automatically tend to look to the next thing or we’re complaining about the past. Worrying is not going to make it happen or not happen.

Women are wonderful, but they get so caught up about their body. We need to unhook from worrying so much. When I don’t feel good, I look in the mirror and think I look fat and miserable.

I hate striking out, but at the same time, I’m much better at letting them go rather than, earlier in my career, worrying about it so much before the next at-bat against the guy. You grow as you play, and every year, I work to cut them down.

I really think it is possible to make a very nice living by writing and not worrying about anything else.
