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.

If your parents gave you fire to play with when you were two, you'd be standing in fire by the time you were an adult.

I've always dressed like a dude.

I got more guts than brains, and that's my problem.

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

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

People and their religions don't affect me.
