When I was a kid, I wanted to be a spy detective or a rock star.

I have never made a cent off a record in my life. I have never recouped enough, and I never sold enough.

I'm a bit of a lefty. I like the idea of art and music collectives.

I still have this unrealistic faith, that one day, my ship will come in. More people will discover, understand and buy my stuff.

I've never been good at the money thing. I have had a couple of really nice but inept managers, and a business accountant that ripped me off. But I cannot totally blame my money making lameness on them.

My rocking out didn't make me particularly popular with the boys or girls. It wasn't cute or feminine. I was more of a...weirdo.

My mom wore the pants in the family, for sure. I always say, that I spent my childhood trying to get the love and attention of my mom, and now I can't get rid of it.
