Once you get that two-way energy thing going, everyone benefits hugely.

I would advise you to keep your overhead down; avoid a major drug habit; play everyday, and take it front of other people. They need to hear it, and you need them to hear it.

Shower the people you love with love.

I'm looking forward to being able to retire from being a public figure and being able to afford to be myself!

I don't take compliments very easily. I think most musicians suffer from low self-esteem to some extent.

In the beginning, there was a kind of energy that - like an urgency to express myself, and the songs just couldn't be held in. But I think it changes, the nature of how that - what that energy is. And I need to court the muse in a much more serious way.

I'm very unstable; there's no stability in a musician's life at all. You live on a bus or on the road hand to mouth and you don't know where your money's coming from.
