I Think A Lot Of Contemplation Happens

I Spent A Lot Of Years On The Road, And What Happens Is You Find Out Who Your Real Friends Are And You Find Out Where Your Strengths And Weaknesses Lie In Communication. I've Had The Same Friends For 20 Years Now And I Can Count Them On One Hand.

I Think I've Become A Much Better Singer And A Much Better Player. Years And Years Of Playing A Couple Of Hours Every Day Will Do That.

I Was Raised With A Mother Who Told Me That I Wouldn't Succeed, That I Wasn't Good Enough. Even At The Pinnacle Of My Success, She'd Come To A Show, And There'd Be, Like, 10,000 People Screaming. And She'd Say, "i Just Don't Get It." I Think She Had So Little Faith In Herself And Her Abilities As A Parent That She Couldn't Imagine Any Offspring Of Hers Could Do So Well. And All That Did Was Drive Me To Push Back. If Someone Says, "you Can't Do This," I'm Like, "f-ck You! Oh, Yes I Can, And I Will."

I Want To Be Alone. Sympathies Wasted On My Hollow Shell. I Feel There's Nothing Left To Fight For. No Reason For A Cause.

I'm Not A Media Darling. I'm Not On The Cover Of All These Magazines. I Just Quietly Do My Thing.
