The song is about knowing the end result of every situation you're in, and being able to play it out in your mind and see it before it happens. It's about addiction, really, about knowing how it's all going to end up. In that sense, you're watching a movie of yourself all the time - and then you want out of that movie.

The more hedonistic you were, the better...I very much subscribed to that as a young artist.

I'll be honest, I worry sometimes about what I've done. I have tied my whole person to my art and, whatever it takes to get that hook, I will go there and do it.

Well, my great lesson with that was I went to the same production twice - once completely high and once completely sober - and both times were equally wonderful.
