Do I Have To Change My Name,

Part Of The Reason I Sort Of Shot Out Like A Cannon Out Of Michigan And Left Home At Such An Early Age Is Because I Had To Feel Independent.

I'd Like To Think I Am Taking People On A Journey; I Am Not Just Entertaining People, But Giving Them Something To Think About When They Leave.

On The One Hand, The Idea Of Marriage And The Sort Of Traditional Family Life Repulses Me. But On The Other Hand, I Long For It, You Know What I Mean? I'm Constantly In Conflict With Things. And It Is Because Of My Past And My Upbringing And The Journey That I've Been On.

I've Been Popular And Unpopular Successful And Unsuccessful Loved And Loathed And I Know How Meaningless It All Is. Therefore I Feel Free To Take Whatever Risks I Want.

I Could Never Work In A Recording Studio Where You Have This Lovely View And A Beach And The Waves Are Crashing. For Me, It's All About Being In A Tiny Room With Little Windows. It's Almost Like You Have To Be In A Prison. And You Can Create Beauty When You're In That Sort Of Deprived Environment, Which Is A Re-creation Of Your Formative Years.
