When I turned 19 I kinda realized that I needed to write my own songs instead of singing songs written by other people.
“That type of autograph, pictures and apparel thievery was not part of what I grew up with. I loved the artists and their music. I would be thrilled to meet them, but the thought of getting a scribble or stealing an article of clothing never occurred or appealed to me.”
“I'd really like to be in closer contact with life. I'm a little too distant, I guess. I like to place myself outside.”
