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

I've always written songs, even when I wasn't doing anything with my personal life in music.

There are certain things people always bring up with me. The accident. The drugs. And how tight my pants were.

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.

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

I did plenty of crazy stuff, but I did a lot of charity stuff. You can't stop. You want to continue to taste, and sometimes that's crazy, stupid things.

Having regrets and things, it just takes your time away.
