People Like To Tear You Down. People

Performance-wise, You Really Need To Be Down In The Trenches; You Need To Do The Hard Work, For A Lot Of Reasons: To Build Yourself As A Performer, To Get A Sense Of The Audience, To Work Hard And To Wonder, 'do I Really Want To Do This?'

People Are Very Sincere In Their Praise, And You Can't Take It Lightly.

One Of The Mistakes I Made Was Believing That The Rock 'n' Roll Genre As A Genre Was Much More Free Than The Whole Pop Or R&b Scene.

So It Was Out Of Necessity That Blackheart Was Born. I Think It's Great That Now, 25 Years Later, We're Not Only Putting Out Our Own Music, But Are Able To Put Out Music By Other Bands. That's Really Exciting For Us.

I Don't Know If I Miss It Per Se, But I Do Miss The Fact That There Just Doesn't Seem To Be Any Rock 'n' Roll Out There Anyplace. Everything Does Seem Kind Of Tame. It's Even Hard In Manhattan To Go Out And Find A Good Band To Go See.
