I'd rather be loud and misunderstood than quiet and bored

I was the music dude that was naked all the time with the girls, and that's fine, no problem with that.

I think the first thing that you need to detach yourself from is numbers, because music has now splintered off into so many different forms of media, MTV doesn't play videos, the radio is now competing with the Internet.

Nothing wrong with making money.

I'm fiercely independent, but I'm also terrified of being alone.

I'm feeling like the music business is reaping what it's sown. It's going through what inevitably it was going to go through. It was a very decadent, very glamorous business that took advantage of a lot of people for a long time and didn't do things right and had a poor business model.

When you commit to being a musician, I don't think you're really sure or care about when you're going to pay the bills. I don't think you care about that as much as you care about playing music.
