I Was The Boy Who Liked To

I Think That My Relationship With My Fans Has Been Very Special From Day One. It's Been Very Special In Spite Of The Fact That I Don't Think I Would Ever Be Able To Call Myself A Press Darling. I Don't Think There's Ever Been A Superficial Hype Machine Around Me.

Musically, Between Me And My Fans And Also Me And My Team, Who Between Management And Record Label Have Always Just Let Me Be Me, It's Fun To Pave A Path. It's Fun To Feel Like You're Doing Things Your Own Way. So In That Regard I Haven't Had To Worry About Any Bar But My Own.

I Like My Hair Long Because I Have Really Big Ears.

I Try To Have A Real Close Connection With My Fans. That's Extremely Important. They Are The Ones That Have Been There From The Beginning And Proved Everyone Else Wrong.

It's Really Tough To Make A Name For Yourself Without Compromising And Without Fitting Yourself Into A Real Specific Mold. When I Made The Choice That I Would Be Involved In Every Aspect Of Music And Not Necessarily Make Music For Radio Or Mtv, I Was Saying, 'ok, This Is Me. You Decide Who It Is.'
