It was like the Wizard of Oz had spoken, and what he said was too ludicrous to take seriously.

...whatever I ended up doing with my life,I wanted to people feel the way this music was making me feel.

I was starting to come to grips with the fact that I had created a lot of pain and suffering around me, not just within me.

I don't even know what words to use to talk about the music industry anymore. But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music.

As a father now, I wouldn't do what my dad did, because it left me feeling emotionally unstable as a kid. But he didn't do the things he did out of selfishness or malice.

I'm still a little bent, a little crooked, but all things considered, I can't complain.

I think I'm still figuring out how to be a little less selfish.
