I’m very open to fresh talent, and I love the underdog, people who have been counted out, because they come in with a different type of hunger. I’m all for the underdog, so I’d like to talk to anybody who shows up with that sort of thirst.

I try not to take on the weight or the burden of it. Once it’s on the paper, I try to leave it, because I want to surrender to what I’m supposed to write about.
