We Are Who We Are Because Of

I Didn't Want The Public In My Personal Life At All - I Thought That People Might Perceive Me As Too Normal, And I'd Lose That Larger-than-life Rock Star Persona. You've Got To Protect That!

This Was Totally Influenced By Me And The Direction That I Am Writing About And The Stuff That I Am Writing About. There Is Just No Way That You Can Be As Intense As What I Have Been Through In My Life Over A Drum Beat Machine, Sample, Or Loop; It's Just Not Going To Happen.

I Just Kept It Real And Had The Freedom To Do What I Want. It's Not Designed For Any Age Group. It's Not Made For Radio. There Are No Edits. The Whole Album Contains Explicit Lyrics But That's Because You Need It.

And All The Zig-zags And Lines In My Hair? I Used To Do That Myself. I Just Thought It Was Cool That You Could Actually Do That With Your Hair.

I Have Been Known To Hang Out And Party Back In The Day. I Had A Weekend That Lasted A Few Years.
