The Last Thing I Want To Be

Sometimes It Seems Like We're Closer To Our Manicurists Than We Are Our Own Souls. We Have To Find Ways To Get In Touch With That And To Listen To It And To Hear It.

I Think That The Nightmares Are Telling Me Things About Myself That I Need To Know. And I Try To Understand What They Mean, So I Can Get To Know Something More About My Soul.

My Mother Says I Was Two-and-a-half When I Started Playing. My Father Was A Minister, And When He Went To Church In The Morning, She Would Put On Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole And Cole Porter Records. I'd Crawl Up On The Piano Stool, Sit On A Phone Book And Play.

I'm The Thing That Fundamentalist Christians Cringe Over.

There Is A Time And A Place For Things. Sometimes One Needs To Put A Filter On Oneself. That Can Be A Good Thing.
