This, the language of deception, we both understand. We were born to it, along with the curses.
When I dream about music, or think about music, by myself, I try to be as free as possible and allow my creative mind full reign.
That's just the way people's brains work. If you want to talk about something, you have to reduce it to a form that can be understood. That's one of the reasons I'm not good about boiling down music.
When I joined the band I was coming largely from an improvising background, and the idea of a fluid rhythm that was really coherent attracted me.
For me, the voice expresses things that there are just no other ways to express.
I'm pretty resigned to the fact that I never hear music the way anyone else does, and I no longer find it surprising.
I make sure to hold onto everything, even the stuff I've gotten rid of, because if there's one thing I've learned about the band is that I'll bring stuff in, and it's oftentimes the stuff that I've gotten rid of that's the stuff that everyone else is like, "yeah!!!!"
Are we asserting the easy dominion of our civilization over all times and all places, as signs that we casually absorb as a form of loot?
Obviously the highest pressure scene, I guess it might've been a tie - what was the bigger death, Tyrion with Shae, Tyrion wth Twyin, and then Joffrey were all scenes where I wanted to deliver what was in the script married to what fans will be expecting, and it was a lot of pressure and I'm really glad it's over.
How did you get here? Close your eyes. . . and surrender!
The focus and the concentration and the attention to detail that flying takes is a kind of meditation. I find it restful and engaging, and other things slip away.
