I think of myself as a musician and not a celebrity. Celebrity status is something you have to deliberately pursue - I couldn't imagine myself seeking that.

I would never do a printed memoir. I've been asked to publish a memoir from years by different publishers and literary agents. I think it wouldn't be great for me because all I'd really want to talk about it music and I'd rather just play it.

By calling it a memoir, I meant is as a collection of memories. I thought it was (a more) artful (title) than documentary.

I'm on this search trying to figure out exactly who I am and what I have to say to people.

I’ve always considered it a great privilege to be a musician, I’ve never lost sight of that.

I can't remove the autobiographical slant from the things I write. You always bring yourself into what you're writing.

I feel we all have the obligation, myself. I want to live in a more humane, civilized society, and I feel like the only way we're going to achieve that is if we all take it upon ourselves. I just wish we could be a more caring society. I feel like we're social Darwinists who believe that everyone has to make it on their own. But the reality is that we all don't start out on the same footing.
