I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person. |
But once I acclimated and really used fame for what it was offering me as a tool to serve my life purpose of inspiring and contributing, then it started to get fun again. |
And I always laugh at that, because I think I've always been doing what I want to do since Day 1. |
I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful. |
The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss. |
I'm doing it because I choose it. And if it's not working, I can make a change. |
As long as I can say what it is that I need to say, then I'll fit whatever I'm trying to say around a melody. |
I'll keep evolving and put that into my songs. |
Well, as a kid I did not get Shakespeare. I just never understood it. |
I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament. |
I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it. |
Making a movie requires 20 to 500 people to make and a lot of money and the stakes are a lot higher. |
I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything. |
I love songs that are very autobiographical. |
At some point, I would like to write a book and other things, but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind, but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck. |
Down the road, I'll probably have a kid or two or three. And there will probably be political events or spiritual things to comment on, and humor. |
Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it. |
