I Can't Believe That I Would Keep,

Pretty Is Never Beautiful.

The Romantic Myth Of The Artist Says That You Are The Source. I Have No Illusion About That. Native Americans Don't Believe They Are The Source. They Have Access To The Source. Endless Access. But Don't Get Confused.

I Survived This Torture Which Left Me Paralyzed For Years. That's What That Night Was All About, Mutilation, More Than Violence Through Sex. I Really Do Feel As Though I Was Psychologically Mutilated That Night And Now I'm Trying To Put The Pieces Back Together Again. Through Love, Not Hatred. And Through My Music. My Strength Has Been To Open Again, To Life, And My Victory Is The Fact That, Despite It All, I Kept Alive My Vulnerability.

If You Can Surrender Your Protection Devices, In Order To Track The Potentially Raw And Perhaps Elusive Emotions That Are The Song's Dna, Then That Is Creative Vulnerability, Which Is Ultimately Hugely Empowering.

I Think That People Who Can't Believe In Fairies Aren't Worth Knowing.
