A lot of people that I know are bugged with the idea that they have got to have an audience, or they have got to be liked. I think the more that you fall into that trap it makes your own life harder to come to terms with, because an audience appreciation is only going to be periodic at the best of times.

I'm always amazed that people take what I say seriously. I don't even take what I am seriously.

It amazes me sometimes that even intelligent people will analyze a situation or make a judgement after only recognizing the standard or traditional structure of a piece.

I really wanted to do, more than anything else, up until I was around 16, 17, was write musicals.

I had enormous self-image, problems and very low self-esteem, which I hid behind obsessive writing and performing. It's exactly what I do now except I enjoy it now. I'm not driven like I was in my twenties. I was driven to get through life very quickly.

In my madness I see your face in mine.

I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.
