Spring and fall, those are very inspiring times of the year for me.

I was raised in Washington, DC, very violent place. I grew up with violence. My introduction to music was violent. The years I've spent on tours, some of that was extremely violent.

Keep me preoccupied Keep me busy, busy, busy So I won't have to think I don't want to think Because it only brings me pain I just keep running away from My problems Keep me busy Give me a million things to do So I can keep running away from myself.

I don't consider myself an actor, for me it's employment. Like the actor who's a waiter a lot, I'm an actor when I'm not on tour, in that that's a job I can do.

I think of the thrill of an intelligent woman talking just to me.

I have built my life to pursue the new. I don't have family, don't know many people and I am usually ready to leave within an hour.

Thank you for touching me. Some of the only moments worth living were spent with you. Not you especially, the collective you.
