I can't hang out as loose as I used to, but I can still go down Jefferson Avenue and look in the faces of winos, pimps and junkies, all the things I'm made of.

I feel that I have to say something in a song and that it's not just enough to lay down the music.

You can't outdo 'Street Songs' and I didn’t even try. [It] had that special magic that comes with timing and good vibrations and you can't even try to capture that exactly again.

I get some letters from girls that if their mothers knew what they were writing me in these letters, they'd get their butts whipped.

I was angry about the fact that my father would beat my mother on a daily basis, that my mother would like take it in turn and beat on me. I was an abused child. I was mad about all those things, very bitter and very angry.

I dont have aluminum foil on my windows anymore.

I'm good. Or maybe people just like me.
