I think people have to choose between living with contradictions or painting themselves into a corner. I have a lot of contradictions.
I try to look at this music career thing as the means to an end. And really, at the end of it, I see myself on a sailboat, sailing off the edge of the world.
I accepted a change in my life. I didn't choose that change and those are the best changes to make.
I walked along that slippery slope where if you fail through lack of faith, you sell your soul to the devil.
People might say I'm difficult, but did you ever hear anyone describe a label as 'difficult'? By nature, artists should challenge. When they call you difficult, it is a reflection of the imbalance of power.
