Music Is Too Important To Be Left

As I Look Back Over My Life, Before I Had Any Real Identity, I Was A Traveler. I Grew Up An Army Brat, A Runaway, An Activist, And A Musician. All My Life I've Been Traveling.

I Think People Have To Choose Between Living With Contradictions Or Painting Themselves Into A Corner. I Have A Lot Of Contradictions.

People Might Say I'm Difficult, But Did You Ever Hear Anyone Describe A Label As 'difficult'? By Nature, Artists Should Challenge. When They Call You Difficult, It Is A Reflection Of The Imbalance Of Power.

I Resent Like Hell That I Was Maybe Eighteen Before I Ever Heard The 'l' Word. It Would Have Made All The Difference For Me Had I Grown Up Knowing That The Reason I Didn't Fit In Was Because They Hadn't Told Me There Were More Categories To Fit Into.

I Try To Look At This Music Career Thing As The Means To An End. And Really, At The End Of It, I See Myself On A Sailboat, Sailing Off The Edge Of The World.
