missroseroseI was just watching an episode of Six Feet Under, and there was one line that really stood out. When asked why he wants to be an artist, a character responds, "Because I have no choice. If I can't create art, I will die."
Another character scoffs at that as an "infantile notion", but infantile or not, melodramatic or not, I know that feeling. That's how I feel about singing. About touching people in general. If I can't sing, if I can't make people want to laugh or cry or gasp or love, if I can't make them want to live, then I will die. I don't know how it will come about, but I just know that that's what I have to do.
If I can't...I will die.
It's that simple.
