Music is real; it's something you can touch and feel. It moves you - the bass literally shakes you and rocks you from the inside. Music makes your soul feel amazing while you're performing it. It's not air, it's not wind, it's not anything like that. It's solid. It's thick. It's like summertime in New York.

I never had innocence.

My dad was a great dad.

I'd always been treated like an object, not like a human.

Music makes your soul feel amazing while you're performing it.

In my old age I've come to find that if you respect other people, you feel better about yourself.

I've made this decision not to talk to the press about anything that's gone on in my life, but just to write music about it. They can interpret it themselves.
