not-interested persona
I'm not interested in a persona.
kind felt
In 2000, I fell in love. I had never felt anything like that before in my life. It kind of took me over.
tired fighting looks
It's funny, after a while, you get tired of having to fight someone because they don't like the way you look.
dad artist done
Life is different than it was in the Nineties. I'm a dad, and there are other things I have to get done in an afternoon than just being an artist.
perception responsible
What I had to learn was, that I'm responsible for my perception of things.
years three twenties
My music is how I feel, and that's changed from being twenty years old to being forty-three years old.
along culture handmade inventing move movement musical sort vibe
When I think about the real pioneers of the psychedelic movement in a musical sense, not just the culture, everything had a handmade sort of vibe to it. We're inventing our culture as we move along into this.
experience time
With time and experience comes a different perception of what's going on around you.
soulful
I'd like to think that, at the end of the day, you can look at the things that I made as a young person and the things I'll continue to make as I get older and they'll be consistently interesting and soulful things, and if you like them they'll be a part of your dimension, as well.
adolescent areas integrate lasted life older rather realizing time
Part of getting older is realizing that you can integrate all these different areas of your life, rather than the adolescent mindset, which for me lasted a long time, which says, 'It's all or nothing.'
based business meetings
I make decisions based on my work, not based on meetings with my business managers, who I don't like to meet.
adds none nuance record subtlety wisdom
There's the conventional wisdom, of which I have none, where you get a record deal, you get a publicist, you get a campaign, and you do the tour, but none of that adds up to things like nuance and subtlety and dynamic.
authentic begin creative essence experience interested myths
I'm interested in authentic experience and the essence of that creative place, and where those myths begin and where they become real on any level.
What I had to learn was, that I'm only responsible for my perception of things. The world's not out to get you. That's not the way it works.
