You Should Never Take More Than You

I Was Incredibly Confident On Stage Because That's Where I Loved To Be. But Offstage, There Was No Balance. I Was A Little Shy Kid That Went Onstage. And I Always Said, Cocaine Was The Drug That Made Me Open Up. I Could Talk To People. But Then It Became The Drug That Closed Me Down. So It Started Out By Making Me Talk To Everyone, And Then Ended Up By Me Isolating Myself Alone With It; Which Is The End Of The World, Really.

When I Say I Don't Have To Write Pop Songs Anymore, There's No Way I'm Going To Get On The Radio At 60 Years Of Age Unless I'm Doing A Duet With [lady] Gaga Or I Was On All Of The Lights, Which Was A Kanye West Record That Managed To Get On The Radio.

When Little Richard Used To Stand Up And Play It Was Just Fabulous, And Liberace Had The Candlesticks And The Rings And The Gift Of The Gab. The Piano's Is The Most Ungainly Rock' N' Roll Instrument Of All Time But Those Two People Transcended It, As Did Jerry Lee Lewis.
