I've always been freaked out in my mind performing.

I dropped out of college, started playing music. I was going to do what I was going to do and it is what it is.

I'm just working class. I can pay the bills most of the time, usually from royalties.

Focus on what lies ahead.

As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.
