I think, sometimes, artists release music too fast. If you just sit back and listen to the track for a little bit you could pick and choose how you want to do it and see if you really feel the song, because sometimes you might not even like the song after a few listens.
If I retain any freshness of approach, it's by going slowly having long intervals between finished projects.
One problem when you get energy and want to go with it is that with so large a cast of talented people, you have to wait three or four shows for some 'meat.'
I think that's why my career is going to be so long: Because I haven't given people everything.
I figure 1000 words a day, or four pages, and sometimes I'll write more, but I'll try not to. Because I think you don't want to exhaust what it is you're writing about, so the next day you would have to gear up for a brand new scene.
A novel takes place over time. It's a historical narrative, and it needs to have a series of peaks and valleys and the move through. You can't just start at the highest pitch and stay there, but you can in a lyric poem.
A lot of the time in animation is spent getting the story right - that's something you can't rush.
I try to space out my films.
I am someone who likes to take my time. I do one album in three years, unlike others.
I've never been one of those 'quantity' guys. I'm not one of those guys who puts out a record every year whether it's any good or not.
As much as I like it when a book I'm writing speeds along, the downside can be that an author becomes too eager to finish and rushes the end. The end is even more important than the first page, and rushing can damage it.
Anyone who's familiar with my writing schedule knows that there is always plenty of time between books for me!
