Who would want to break into [the music business]? It's like a bank that's already been robbed.
sleep simple trying
You know, they say you can reduce genius to someone who spent 10,000 hours trying to get good at something. I'm not claiming either one of those. I haven't done anything for 10,000 hours but sleep. But you do stuff enough, you get better at it. Usually it's a simple thing like that. Essentially, a brainless endeavor.

I ain't saying that I'm better than you, but maybe I am.
irritation people eccentric
My music has a high irritation factor. I`ve always tried to say something. Eccentric lyrics about eccentric people. Often it was is joke. But I would plead guilty on the grounds that I prefer eccetricity to the bland.
american-comedian bands knocking people sing start
When people start knocking those bands, those bands that sing all that harmony, it's hard, I can't do it. Course, there's only one of me.
