I like being an employee. I like making somebody happy - and if they're not, then I'm crushed.

How can you work in film and still see the overt racism that exists in film and not just be furious all the time?

I know if I'm lost in the moment or not.

I don't spend most of my life in front of the media.

The expectation is this low, gravelly voice for John, but I went through his early recordings and there were songs in there where the voice was so different, I wasn't even sure if it was him singing, ... So it was interesting to me that we would see him develop the Man in Black sound. I thought it was really important that his voice change as his persona slowly solidified. The music was really the doorway into the character.

Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention.

I wish I had fair justification for not being as informed as I should be, but I don't.
