"'I always feel like I'm writing sort of retrospectively about things that have passed or come to fruition and that can be really disturbing. Like, you're digging back into something you've already overcome, and that can really thrust you back into a place of feeling I'm sad or emotional and I'm like, god, that's so strange. Because right now I feel very settled and normal and whatever, and I'm writing about how I was feeling six months ago. And so it can be strangely uncathartic. ...

So even if that's how it is, we still have this career and life together and it can be really tense. But Sara and I can't fire each other, otherwise we wouldn't have a career.
