    I don't want my work to feel all sweat-soaked and tortured. I'd like to be like a crooner, effortless seeming, smooth. That doesn't mean it actually is easy. And it doesn't mean you don't have backbone, or even aggression. Like Frank Sinatra. Or Miles Davis, maybe. It's like magic. I want my thing to just appear. Not be painted. Just appear.
