I was a buffoon and an idiot until the age of forty
Part of the reason I sort of shot out like a cannon out of Michigan and left home at such an early age is because I had to feel independent.
Whenever I do my live shows, I feel artistically inspired and excited because I get to do and say a lot of things that I can't if I just make a record. A lot of times it's the only way people are going to hear my music because you don't get to have your music played on Top 40 if you're above the age of 35.
I don't like guys my age because they are normally either married or divorced and grumpy, fat and balding.
I don't believe there's a certain age where you can't say and feel and be who you want to be.
In my coming-of-age time, there was no internet, no social networking, nothing. It was just show after show, hoping one day somebody would notice you.
