A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

It sometimes feels like a strange movie, you know, it's all so weird that sometimes I wonder if it is really happening.

If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.
