I Enjoy The Pleasure Of My Own

I'm Wide Open And Will Entertain Anything Anybody Has To Say, But If It's Mtv And Radio, Well, They're Great Things, But Can't Be The Only Thing. I Don't Know That It Would Work Even For The Beatles.

Take 'jack And Diane.' I Was So Disgusted With People Thinking The Line 'hold On To Sixteen As Long As You Can' Meant To Stay A Teenager Forever. What I Meant Was Keep Doing Whatever Makes You Feel Alive.

I've Never Had Anybody Produce My Records. I've Always Produced My Own Records. I've Worked With A Guy For A While Who Was An Engineer Who Helped Me Produce Records, But I've Always Made My Own Records. I'm A Control Fanatic. I've Got To Control Everything.

You Can't Tell Your Best Buddy That You Love Him.

I've Never Fit In In Any Music World. I've Always Been An Outsider. I Mean, The Fact That I Live In Indiana - I Live In A Fly-over State... I'm Not Running Away From Anything, That's The Problem. Most People Go To Cities Because They Don't Like Where They Come From.
