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.

Since the decline of record companies and music sales, I've always played live.

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

Bad things happen sometimes.

I've been told I sold 110m albums and singles. If that's the case, I should've come here in a space rocket.

I feel very grateful to be alive and well enough to make music.

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.'
