Wesley Stace

Je ne peux en dire plus ici… Chacun voit ce qu'il veut voir.

Je suis un songwriter classique, plutôt dans une chaîne qui va de Dylan à Brassens en passant par Gainsbourg ou Françoise Hardy.

Being a musician is a very sociable thing to do, and it makes it a very good balance with being a writer, which is a very solitary thing to do — so on that level alone I think they complement each other very well. As processes go, they’re completely different: You can write a song on a plane or a train or the back of a napkin in a bar. But a novel … I need to sit around and have seas of days on either side of me to cushion myself in and relax.

One slightly annoying thing about it is that everybody always wants you to get your guitar out at a reading. It’s like, “Come on, you don’t ask so-and-so to cook because he can also cook.”
