But now I say if inspiration hits me and something absolutely magnificent raises its head, then I’ll do something. But what I’m not gonna do is hand in a B+ song just for the sake of handing one in.”

The industry has shifted quite a bit since I was a part of it. I left Suits right after the 100th episode in 2018. I didn't think I'd ever be in the entertainment industry again.

Dear Fonseca
My husband and I are in couples therapy. We had a huge blow-up on Tuesday night with our counselor when talking about dreams. Our counselor says we need to be totally honest with one another. My husband asked me why I woke up smiling the other morning. I refused to tell him that I had a dream about me sleeping with his best friend. He complained to the counselor about my silence. This caused a huge fight. I told the counselor that spouses should be able to keep their dreams a secret from one another. My husband and the counselor disagree with me. Where do you stand on this? Are dreams off-limits or should a partner be entitled to know what their spouse is dreaming about?
