“To me, music and songwriting is... part of the intriguing thing is the creative process; you know, the creative thought process. Relying on that... there is some sort of inspiration there and you can't always put your finger on where it comes from. So, it's always been important for me to have my own thing and, even though I'm inspired by and influenced by many different musicians and styles of music, I was very determined early on to have my own thing. So when I sit down to write I don't necessarily have a particular narrative or message in mind. I'm interested in language and in words.” KnowsWritingMindImportantDifferentInspirationLanguageProcessMy OwnCreativeStyleParticularMessagesMusicianFingersInspiredDeterminedNarrativeSongwritingCreative ProcessIntriguingThought ProcessCreative Thought Author:Page Hamilton
“The problem is that the internet IS some kid in a basement with an opinion. The fact that David Bowie and Elton John told me that they were fans of Helmet - or Neil Young - that means something to me because I grew up on their music and they’re great musicians... That means more to me than some guy who hates the fact that my hair is short.” MeanFactsProblemKidsYoungGuyHateOpinionFansHairGrewInternetGrew UpMusicianGreat MusicBasementsHelmetBowieGreat Musician Author:Page Hamilton
