Someone asked me if I play piano because I feel like I have a protective wall around me. Maybe. I am really messed up.

I stayed involved with music my whole life. I was always playing with other people.

I gave up that idea of trying to make music that I thought other people would want. I just made music for myself and music for people that I knew.

I didn't have to see this big clock on the wall and worry. Most of the record I made was experimental. If you have a lot of time to do that you don't have to worry about the money, plus, I had no money. It was more out of necessity than choice.

Someone asked me if I was a method actor - I loved that! I needed to know what it felt like to lose everything just to do the Bad Day video! I could really feel the angst!

I write everything. I have that control issue with my music. That's why I'm not in a band.
