The Point Of Being At Home Is

My Identity Shifted When I Got Into Recovery. That's Who I Am Now, And It Actually Gives Me Greater Pleasure To Have That Identity Than To Be A Musician Or Anything Else, Because It Keeps Me In A Manageable Size. When I'm Down On The Ground With My Disease-which I'm Happy To Have-it Gets Me In Tune. It Gives Me A Spiritual Anchor. Don't Ask Me To Explain.

I'm An Egomaniac With An Inferiority Complex.

I Mean, The Sound Of An Amplified Guitar In A Room Full Of People Was So Hypnotic And Addictive To Me, That I Could Cross Any Kind Of Border To Get On There.

I Remember When I Thought Of Singing As The Bit That Went Between The Guitar Playing - Something I Couldn't Wait To Get Out Of The Way. Singing Was Originally Like A Chore That I Didn't Really Enjoy.

I Just Managed To Convince My Grandmother That It Was A Worth While That Was Something To Do, You Know, And When I Did Finally Get The Guitar, It Didn't Seem That Difficult To Me, To Be Able To Make A Good Noise Out Of It.
