When I Say Music Saved Me, I

We're Constantly Being Told What Other People Think We Are, And That's Why It Is So Important To Know Yourself.

I Like The Idea That We Build Up These Walls Or Rules Or Laws To Maintain Our Reality, And When They Fall Away, You're Left With A Whole Bunch Of Illusions.

I Believe This Is Heaven To No One Else But Me.

I've Never Done Heroin, But I Totally Understood What Would Drive People To That Distraction-to Need That So Much.

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."
