I Was Born In Dallas, Texas, But

You Can't Please Everybody, And Basically I Just Decided To Please Myself First On This Record. This Record Is More Like My Diary And I Am Expressing Myself Through My Music. And That's What It Should Be About. That's Why I Didn't Change My Name Or Anything. It's Not About The Name; It's About The Music. The Old Saying Goes That Video Killed The Radio Star And It's Very True. And Now I'm Just Letting Everything Revolve Around The Music. There Is No Image; I Am Just Being Myself.

As For Music And My Place In It, Maybe Things Are Changing A Little Bit. I Know This: A Good Song Is Deeper Than A Tattoo. It'll Remind You Of The Car You're Driving And The Girl You're Going Around With And The Streets You're Cruising. It's Better Than A Photo Album. A Song Is A Tattoo That You Never Lose. 'ice, Ice Baby,' Man, You'll Remember That When You're 90.

What Makes Critics Dictate What Is Cool And What Is Not. What Gives Them The Pass To Say That Their Opinion On Music Or Movies Or Anything Is What Should Be Cool And What Shouldn't. I Don't Think It Should Be Up To One Person.

My Main Thing Is Music; It's What I Do.

I Do A Lot Of Tv Stuff, But I Also Turn A Lot Down - It's Got To Be An Adventure.
