Don't Let Your Life Pass

Cast Me Gently Into The Morning For The Night Has Been Unkind.

Nature Is A Perfect Example Of The Harmony Between The Beautiful And The Brutal. You Turn Over A Pretty Rock And There Are Worms Writhing Underneath.

I've Never Done Heroin, But I Totally Understood What Would Drive People To That Distraction-to Need That So Much.

I Was Raised With A Mother Who Told Me That I Wouldn't Succeed, That I Wasn't Good Enough. Even At The Pinnacle Of My Success, She'd Come To A Show, And There'd Be, Like, 10,000 People Screaming. And She'd Say, "i Just Don't Get It." I Think She Had So Little Faith In Herself And Her Abilities As A Parent That She Couldn't Imagine Any Offspring Of Hers Could Do So Well. And All That Did Was Drive Me To Push Back. If Someone Says, "you Can't Do This," I'm Like, "f-ck You! Oh, Yes I Can, And I Will."

I Was Very Awkward As A Kid. I Was A Square Trying To Fit Into A Circle And It Never Worked For Me. The Harder I Tried, The Harder I Fell. For Some Reason I Was A Real Target And I Got Beat Up And Called Names.
