Stay on top of your finances. Don't leave that up to others

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

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

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

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

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

They had me doing Beach Boys remakes and all that. I was basically a marionette.
