I've always done things myself. I've never bragged or screamed that I produced a record before. I never told anybody.

I've never had a clique. It's impossible when you're always traveling.

Everybody tends to think I'm crazy, which is the biggest problem in my life.

I need to be able to face things.

I'm not a professional entertainer. I'm not Neil Diamond.

I think the hardest thing about my life is that I've met so many people all over the world who I love, but they're not friends with each other.

After my second-to-last record called "The Greatest," I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever, not anger towards myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.
