I think I did every drug known to mankind, smoked crack, boozed, dropped acid, you name it.

I just feel fortune just to have been lucky enough, and worked hard enough, and blessed.

Well, I was into music since I was a kid, ya know, back in Detroit. I say Detroit, but it was really a little suburb outside the city called Romeo.

I've always made music from the heart, and that's what I do.

I really believe it's the old cliché, the more you give the more you receive. I'm living proof of that.

I signal with an independent label, Continuum. After that I put out a totally independent record, sold fourteen thousand of them from my basement, bought a house, started raising my kid, made a decent living.

Why does anything ever happen? Some things happen and some don't.
