“He who only writes to suit the taste of the age, considers himself more than his writings.

“My advice to women who habitually gravitate toward musicians is that they learn how to play an instrument and start making music themselves. Not only will they see that it's not that hard, but sometimes I think women just want to be the very thing they think they want to sleep with. Because if you're bright enough--no offense, Tawny Kitaen--sleeping with a musician probably won't be enough for you to feel good about yourself. Even if he writes you a song for your birthday. Don't you know that a musician who writes a song for you is like a baker you're dating making you a cake? Aim higher.” IfsThinkingKnowsWantFeelsWritingSometimesHardEnoughPlaySongSleepAdviceHigherMusicianDatingAimInstrumentsFeel GoodAbout YourselfCakeOffenseBakersAim HighWant To Sleep Author:Julie Klausner
