Right from the beginning, I was not going to collaborate with anybody for this one, this needed to be an independent experience. I hadn’t written by myself for a long time. I was married for 14 years to my collaborator, and I really just needed to do that again. I needed to go back and do that by myself and have an uninterrupted flow of creativity that was insular, to see what I was made of, to see what I have there.
