rap not-good-enough trying
I couldn't do rap. I was trying. I don't know how. I'm not good enough to know.

I loved rap, especially in the early days. But I wasn't trying to shove it down anybody's throats.

Wondering what I'm doing tonight I've been in the closet and feel all right

Ricky Nelson... I couldn't believe it when he died. He was a great rock star.

I think it would be nice to be a prince.

I've always liked extreme performers; I don't think I am one, but my mentality is in line with that.
silly festivals wow
I get starstruck really easily. I love music so much - it sounds so silly to say that - so if I'm playing a festival and somebody I love, like [Primal Scream's] Bobby Gillespie, is there in the backstage area, I'm like, "Wow this is amazing! There they are!"
