I learned to read and write and socialize in school, and that's pretty much it.
I got sick of playing husbands and boyfriends because there was nothing there.
I don't know any musician, successful or otherwise, that got in it to make money. Or writer, for that matter. You get into it because you love it.
I was more than just a moody artist.
I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.
I've always liked the heavier stuff. I've always loved Tool and System of a Down, Korn and Nine Inch Nails.
