I have loved eight women in my life. I remember every woman's face.

When you work as hard as you can and as much as you can to make your first album, and you don't make any money, then you change things.

I got a little house in East L.A. and did the gardening. I was doing some acting here and there, doing my own thing... getting back to reality.

I've never really been nervous about any concerts. I enjoy it so much. All that matters is getting the songs played well, trying to get them to sound as close to the record live, which isn't easy, because my music is quite complicated to play.

Bad things happen sometimes.

It's good to play 100 per cent live - no tricks, no samples, no messing about.

I wanted to make good records. But my problem is I've got a low boredom threshold, so I wanted it to look and sound different with each album, which is really tantamount to suicide, cause people lose it, they lose it - they say: 'I like that, and that's not this.'
