I'm An Egomaniac With An Inferiority Complex.

My Identity Shifted When I Got Into Recovery. That's Who I Am Now, And It Actually Gives Me Greater Pleasure To Have That Identity Than To Be A Musician Or Anything Else, Because It Keeps Me In A Manageable Size. When I'm Down On The Ground With My Disease-which I'm Happy To Have-it Gets Me In Tune. It Gives Me A Spiritual Anchor. Don't Ask Me To Explain.

When I Look For What I'm Going To Listen To I Go Backwards. I'm Always Going The Other Way You See. Most People Are Trying To Figure Out 'how Do I Get In The Fast Lane Going That Way?'. I'm Going In The Other Direction. I Wanna Find The Oldest Thing To Do.

There Are People These Days Who Can Do Things On The Guitar Which Are Beyond My Reach. There's One Guy Who Plays With Queen Who Can Do Things I Would Dream Of Doing. I Sincerely Mean That.

So There I Was In Hollywood, Thinking I Was Doing Good.

Whatever Your Standing In Life, The Most Important Thing Is Behaving In Ways That Help Other People. It's The Same With Music. I Am A Servant Of The Music ... And If I Get Caught Up In Ego, I'll Lose Everything .. It'll Burn And That's A Guarantee.
