I'm paranoid. On my stationary bike, I have a rear view mirror.

My parents were my worst audience.

I love being famous. It validates that I have something to say.

My humor is channeling everything through my brain. For example, when I talk about something, it's how Richard Lewis feels about it. I'm a storyteller. I do a lot of free association.

I had to learn chord shapes... I bought books with chord charts. I used to listen to all kinds of pop music.

How blunt are all the arrows of thy quiver in comparison with those of guilt.
