Time Can Bring You Down, Time Can

Music Became A Healer For Me.

My Identity Shifted When I Got Into Recovery. That's Who I Am Now, And It Actually Gives Me Greater Pleasure To Have That Identity Than To Be A Musician Or Anything Else, Because It Keeps Me In A Manageable Size. When I'm Down On The Ground With My Disease-which I'm Happy To Have-it Gets Me In Tune. It Gives Me A Spiritual Anchor. Don't Ask Me To Explain.

It Is Painful To Relive Things That Have Caused Emotional Crises Or Whatever And Find Ways To Express That Musically.

But I Did Go To Music Really Early On, Even When I Was 4 Or 5, I Was Responding To Music Probably In Ways Other Kids Were Not.

The Toughest Thing About Being A Celebrity, I Suppose, Is Being Polite When I Don't Want To Be.
