I am less selfish. But I am more insistent on being part of the creative experience. I find I am a better mother, lover and wife when I am writing. When my daughter was small I wasn’t writing as much and I didn’t miss it.
Meaning of the quote
When Helen Slater writes, she becomes less focused on herself and more involved in the creative process. She feels that she is a better mother, partner, and wife when she is writing. However, when her daughter was young, Slater didn't write as much, and she didn't even miss it. This shows how important the creative experience is for Slater and how it positively impacts her relationships and personal life.

It may not be the most popular but there is a place for it. I think about the kind of music I love, acoustic, melodic, and I guess it kind of took a bit of courage on my part to think I could be one of those songwriters.

With acting I am being led by the script, other actors, the director, etc. But with songwriting I feel it is much more self reliant and allows me to be in the creative experience without being as dependent on others.
