You have to change musically. Bubble gum pop was good for the first time you have sex. They didn't want to give the OK on some really good music. It was the frustration of being signed to that label. I was depressed.

Don't believe your own publicity. You can't; you'll start thinking that you're better than you are.

I have an extremely addictive personality. I'm an extremist.

I believe in a higher power and I believe in good and bad, right and wrong. You sleep in the bed you make.

Stop doing what the record companies are doing and do what's in your heart.

Just do what you like to do, and do it all the time.

I have no problem with starting from scratch.
