If You Sold A Million Records, The Only Way You Could Be Disappointed Is If The Guy Down The Street Sold Seven Million.

We Can Still Be Very Successful And Not Have To Worry About Wearing Bulletproof Vests.

If I'm Going To Go Out To Be A Solo Artist, It's Because I Want To Do Something Different Without Having To Wait On Someone Else's Schedule Or Hobbies Or Be Limited By Other People's Prejudices. I'd Be Kind Of Stupid Not To Exercise That.

It Isn't Necessary To Be An Untouchable Rock-icon Guy Surrounded By Bodyguards And Be Ushered In And Out And Have Everyone Do Everything For You.
