Context: Inspiration comes from many places — experiences, places, people, books, and the work of other artists.

Writing is sort of a game or puzzle to me — playing with words and concepts to present something new to listeners.

Variant: All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.
