One of the dumber things my manager said was, Stick to the melody. But I can't.

I think the thing that has made it possible for me to write personal songs and sing them year after year is the sensibility for good writing. Just opening your veins all over the paper is not necessarily going to be interesting. I wanted to speak to people.

Without music, I could not get through.

Physically, I'm healthy as a horse, always held up. But in the mental illness department, I got my share. It's just what I got.
