Well, the only way I can get a leading-man role is if I write it. ↗

I write synopses after the book is completed. I can't write it beforehand, because I don't know what the book's about. I invent something for my publisher because he asks for one, but the final book ends up very differently. ↗

I don't write down my experiences, but I have a very decent memory. I have tons of books in which I write down phrases as they occur to me. That's how I write songs. I'll need a line and I'll go through the books and find it, the right rhyme and everything. ↗

When I write, the first blank page, or any blank page, means nothing to me. What means something is a page that has been filled with words. ↗

I write about wounds, the eternal treasons of life. It's not very funny, but it's sincere. My commitment is to sincerity. ↗

For me, life is writing and I can do it anywhere. It doesn't matter where I am. I listen. I write. I live. ↗

The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage. ↗

Most songs have meager beginnings. You wake up in the morning, you throw on your suspenders, and you subvocalize and just think. They seem to form like calcium. I can't think of a story right off the bat that was that interesting. I write things on the back of my hand, usually, and sing into a tape recorder. ↗

— Tom Waits
