Possibly the whole creative whirlwind of any musician's life is based on garnering and developing and absorbing more and more experience.

I've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.

There's so much of this beautiful planet that is still actually spectacular and stimulating. There are so many amazing people that you meet along the way.

Life isn't moving quickly - time moves very quickly. But I don't really have a schedule now that's very challenging. I make the calls and I call the shots, so I feel reasonably centered. Sometimes, I wonder whether or not it's even necessary to do concerts and stuff.

I don't think I've aged gracefully.

My sort of stability as a character, it's never been one of my strongest attributes. I'm a bit of a clusterf*ck. I get so many great ideas that I kind of mesmerize people with another plan before the previous plan is hatched out.

My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.
