John C. Hawkes

On the night before we were married, all of the anxiety in the world came down upon me.

I didn't for a moment doubt the choice, but if life is ever fearsome, it is truly fearsome then.

I didn't know what kind of jobs, because how was I prepared? At best, I would be an AB in English.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

Basically, I've always had a complex with the way I walk. I've not always been told I've got a bad walk, but someone's always commented on my walk.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
