I love being creative, and for me it doesn't matter what it is - whether it's art or music or just daydreaming.
Being a songwriter or a painter you're definitely facing your fears. You're facing your fears because you're speaking your truth; you're speaking from your heart. That's something that's not easy to do, you set yourself up for all sorts of criticism or vulnerability but that's why we do it.
I'm a big believer in that old cliché of thinking globally and acting locally.
