It Was Really Shocking To Me That

People Aren't Honest About The Horrors Of Fame. The Downsides Are So Overwhelming That, For Me, There Is No Payoff.

Fame Made Me Develop A Panic Disorder.

I Think That It Depends What You Mean By Successful. If You Mean 'make Money' You Need To Be Part Of The Machine Unless You're One Of Those Superhuman People Who Can Do Everything By Yourself, And Have Workaholic Tendencies And Really Good Advisers And A Good Investor.

I Toured For 13 Years, And It Was Very Lonely, And It Was Hard Work. I'm Not Afraid Of Hard Work, Especially If It's For Stuff That I Enjoy. But I Actually Don't Think You Could Name One Artist Who Enjoys Promo Or Touring After The First Three To Six Months Of An Album Cycle.

I'm An Advocate Of 'it's Not What You Are, It's Who You Are.'
