A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
激情
Passion

I get bored easily, so I need to do a lot. I've started a record label, so I get to nurture new talent and talk about music, which is a passion of mine. I've written another book. And I get to come to work and do the TV show, which is always really fun.

我为写歌奋斗了很长时间。人们一直告诉我应该写作，其他作家也提出要和我一起写作，说实话，我从来没有真正热爱过写作——而且我也不确定自己是否有写作的天赋!
