When People Make My Country Look Bad,

That's The Only Interaction I Have With People, Those Talking Shows. Most Of The People In My Phone Book Are Artists, Management, Producers, Engineers. I Don't Ever Call People With, "hi! How Are You?" I Say, "how Are You? Do You Have That 16/30 Ready? When Do You Want Me To Come Into The Studio?" That's What I Do.

I Was Raised In Washington, Dc, Very Violent Place. I Grew Up With Violence. My Introduction To Music Was Violent. The Years I've Spent On Tours, Some Of That Was Extremely Violent.

It's Difficult For Me To Be Around Anyone For Longer Than An Hour. Love, Death, Elation, Sorrow, I Just Don't Care All That Much About Any Of It. I Am At This Point, More Of An Observer/journalist.

I Just Want To Be Able To Stand Up Straight For A Little While Before I Get Cut Down.
