A lot of people come up to me expecting to meet the person they have seen perform. It's not going to happen, unless my mania, my stage person, responds to them and not the real me.

I love visual gags and gimmicks; I love them.

Knowing now what goes into making a successful artist, it's disheartening.

I liked when I was naive and I thought it was just about making good music.

Like when I'm singing live I can't hear myself. I'm just listening to the rest of the band. To listen to my voice, it doesn't even feel like it's me.

I'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.

I get to sit at home with the dogs on the sofa, record in a closet in the office, send them off and, if I'm lucky, make a million dollars.
