You could be in the gutter and fall in love with someone, and you feel great. That's my honest opinion. I've witnessed both sides of that fence and being in love is where it's at.

I'm writing my biography. It's my business. This is what happened in my life, and I'm writing about it.

I think all the bad blood started when Geffen released a greatest hits package of my solo stuff.

I had written lyrics to a song called The Silent Extreme, which Alex later renamed Humans Being.
