My fans are the best in the world! They've grown up with me and stayed with me through this entire journey.

I kinda went back to that period between '88 and '94 where I felt like I was the most creative, without being hindered by powers that be. I was no longer going to try to hinder myself to what I thought was going to be on the radio.

I kind of hate the fact that people are always trying to put you into a category. I hate walls, and I hate boundaries. I don't like that. I listen to everything.

I think I've tried to stay true to my music since the beginning. It's kind of hard because of the access and technology but I just do what I do.

I started as a writer and when I sent my demos out everyone wanted to know who was singing and if that person wanted a record deal.

I hate the pigeonholing that's happened in the music business in the last 30 years.

I'm never satisfied with what I do.
