I don't feel like I'm on a mission. I'm trying to play music that I like to play and like to listen to.

Look around and you will see this world is full of creeps like me.

I'm really in no danger of being perceived as a famous movie actor!

I am limited by what I can think of to do-my choices are not so great.

Everybody's career is different. In this new age of being able to talk to the whole world at once, the possibilities are staggering, really, to be able to do things yourself. But I've always enjoyed my relationship with the record company.

You don't have to have anything in common with people you've known since you were five. With old friends, you've got your whole life in common.

I joke that I've never been burdened by having an actual hit. There's something to that. My records have sold enough to make the record company money to help me keep my job. But I've never had anything so firmly ingrained in the mind of the public that I'm expected to repeat it.
