I got told so many times I needed a manager. For a long time I resisted, and I finally got one so I can pay my mortgage, and it helped me from becoming a homeless person.

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

I've always dressed like a dude.

For me, the moment the mic is on and it's rolling, it's impossible to vocally relax for some reason. But one day, I'm going to be able to sing the way I sang when I was a little kid, completely open and free. That's, I think, the one thing that's changed: Growing older, I'm not ashamed to hear my voice.

I need to be able to face things.

We're always going to remind ourselves of our mistakes and how we do things differently, trying to be a better person or whatever.

I am human and I make mistakes.
