Doing my own album provided me the opportunity to say whatever I wanted. |
My joke, which isn't really a joke, is that there will be one of two tours: the tour for the album that does well, or the tour for the album that stiffs. |
I'm now so keenly aware that I have everything to prove and nothing to lose. |
In the past, there has always been so much pressure about carrying a show and promoting a record. |
The only thing that's a little tricky about it is sometimes people assume that if it's a new song, it's a reflection of what you're feeling or going through now. |
I love when people get songs wrong. I love when people take something from a song that's totally not what I intended! |
I think really what I'm saying is that I thrive on adversity. |
I didn't want my last chapter to be the guy who sits at the piano and sings love songs. |
I fell off stage and bruised some ribs. The worst part was that the audience didn't realize I was gone. |
But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever. |
