I Put Out A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Material, And Maybe People Read That As Egotistical. Or Maybe, Since A Lot Of It Does Involve Some Aspect Of Me, They Find It Self-aggrandizing. But There’s A Long Tradition Of Artists Using Themselves. Look, I Know I’m Not Perfect. And, Who Knows, Maybe A Part Of It Has To Do With Self-obsession. But It’s Also About Using This Weird Thing That Is A Public Persona As Raw Material For Creative Projects.
