When you're a kid, you have this feeling like you're indestructible. Your mortality doesn't even occur to you. But as time goes by, you realize, "I better cut this out or that out if I want to continue to exist."

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.

Until I was six years old we lived in the projects, then my two brothers and three sisters and I moved to a three-bed that my mother's father built.

As I recall, my life as a child was so all-consuming that I barely had time to consider the future.

It's really a drag to do the same project over and over again.

Most bands are commercial enterprises. But I'm not in one of those bands.

Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable.
