I Have A Tendency To Sabotage Relationships;

As I Look Back, I Understand What [the Record Company] Was Getting At. They Were Trying To Market A Record And Make It As Commercially Acceptable As Possible. It Hurt Me And My Credibility With Critics.

I Honestly Think That It Was When The Actual Voices Started To Stand Up For Me. It Was The Iconic Artists Like Tony Bennett Or Barbara Streisand Or Liza Minnelli. When People Like That Take You Under Their Wing And Say In Quotations, "he's The Next One. He's Got My Stamp Of Approval," People Trust Them.

You Want To Be Commercially Successful And Critically Acclaimed. But The Truth Is, There's Only A Few Bruce Springsteens And Paul Mccartneys Out There.

The Artist That Had The Biggest Impact On Me Was Michael Jackson. He Was My Elvis And Beatles. When I Was 15, I Listened To A Lot Of Sinatra, But My Jean Jacket Didnt Have, I Love Frank On It, It Had, I Love Ac/dc, Guns N Roses, Pearl Jam. I Thought Eddie Vedder Was The Second Coming.
