I've always been obsessed by visual art as I have been by music personally, but that doesn't mean anything professionally.

I think I'm probably a very sad man wrapped in a very joyful package, and I think I'm very resilient, and I think I'm quite generous, sometimes to a fault. And I'm very bad with money, but I don't see that too much of a flaw.

I find a therapy in playing music, in many different ways. At this point, I'm incredibly grateful for the relationship that it's given me with the men that I play music with. It's a great journey, and I'm really grateful for that. And also, being able to scream at the top of my lungs in front of people is very therapeutic.

I never went to college - I barely got out of high school.

I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles I'm coming slow but speeding

The reason I play music is to touch people - for selfish reasons, as well. It feels good to make someone else feel something, whether it's a kiss, a painting, good idea or it's a song.

Would you not like to be, sittin' on top of the world with your legs hanging free?
