My teenage cousins seem to be living in a different world than the one I inhabited at their age. A really incredible world, really. Watching them run around, quite used to partying with strangers with abandon, makes me realize I'm no longer young

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
