I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment, which I hate to do, but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.
There are always things I find difficult - being in crowds, remembering faces. I do like routines. I always travel with someone. My life in Avignon is a very quiet one. I have an apartment that looks over the whole city. I can drop into town, but a lot of the time I write from home. In some respects I still live a very quiet, simple life.
I wanted stores that would feel like a comfortable room in my apartment, cozy and colorful and different.
I don't even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.
I installed a skylight in my apartment... the people who live above me are furious!
