The more honest you can be, the less you have to hide... when I have nothing to hide, I have everything to give.

I had to beat the bags, big time, I had to get out into the den and start screaming and move it through my body.

My rite of passage into my brave new world, life on the road.

In my career, fun becomes a big factor. If something feels like it's going to be creative and be fun - follow your bliss. Is this where the juice is? Then I go there.

In my career I defined myself by my music, and the danger is that one defines oneself based on popularity. As you know, that goes up and down, and you can't judge how you feel about yourself based on what your sales is.

My career was about to change radically, in turning 50 I had hit the age where my Dad made a big career and his life started to unravel.

I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.
