I have no problem paying my dues and I have no problem going out and working the club circuit.

Somehow I wasn't completely crucified by the critics. I don't know how or why, I probably should've been.

I have no problem with starting from scratch.

The stardom thing happened and now I'm trying to make a comeback, if you want to call it that.

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.

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

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