Prior to my father's death, I was having a hard time committing to a career as an artist, but that's not because of who he was - it was because of who I am. It's true, though, that I felt I shouldn't compete with him, and that those feelings went away after he died.

I'm peripheral in Colab's history because others were involved in media, filmmaking, and music, and I was always a studio artist.

It is very different when you age. The things that are significant, or what drives you, or the physical experience of being driven, changes over time.
