People weren't buying as many records. My record company did not want me. I went through three record companies, went on tour at the wrong time. It destroyed me.

I became a man. Before that I was a little boy.

It may be a coincidence, but from the minute I took anti-depressants, I didn't pick up a guitar or a pen for seven years.

I didn't lose my virginity until I was 18 The first time was a nightmare. Who shows you how to use a condom?

I have suffered from depression for most of my life. It is an illness.

I just became a vegetable for three months. I couldn't talk to people. I was very ill and that was part of the reason I left college.

There is always room at the top, don't let them tell you there is not.
