I Didn't Want To Be On A

[early On,] The Attitude Was That What I Was Doing Wasn't Music.

Every Band I Knew Or Played With Had Flyers And Properly-recorded Demos And Contacts; I Couldn't Even Get A Gig.

Maybe Certain Aspects Of What I Was Doing Were Reacting Against What Was Happening Or What People Said, Too. That's Something That Happens When You're Starting Out. After Some Time Goes By And You Get A Little Perspective, You Realize That You Don't Need To React. You Can Just Carry On With What You're Doing. That Took Me A Long Time Figure Out; I've Only Gotten To That Point In The Last Five Or 10 Years.

I Never Had Any Expectations Of Winning A Grammy. It Wasn't Something I Was Set On, That I Was Hoping And Praying And Starving For.

It's So Easy To Criticize Your Own Time, And I See That As A Problem, Even For Myself, As A Listener.
