You run the risk of falling on your face, but, again, music is an individual pursuit - it is made to please yourself first.

You make music to move people and you don't get to pick who you move. You just don't. It's exclusionary and elitist and I just never felt that way about music, of all things. The great unifier.

I think a myth is created from truth.

I'm a very private person. What I did in the past or what somebody heard me do or has a bootleg of me doing...well, if you have a bootleg, then I did it.

Basically I'm always singing about the same stuff whether it's in a loud or quiet outfit.

I have been a provoker and I'll probably always be one in the public arena for the rest of my life.

The absence of a bass player always makes things go faster and hit harder in the high-end range.
