When I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful. But it's the intention of the work that's changed. I have fans now. I have a new purpose: to remind them that I am one of them, that we are one another. My consciousness has changed.

What I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie.
