I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure.

You know more about me than I do about myself, that's probably true.

For me, it's all about The Dubliners by James Joyce. I love The Dead.

But Sneaky Pete was great. I didn't bug him about Gram. Not too much, anyway.

When I write a song, it's all about the riff - the riff first, then the words come later.

I was trying to spend it as quickly as possible. Because I'm so lazy, all that money created a block. I was flying around the world, staying at fancy hotels, having fun and trying to get rid of it as quickly as possible, so I could get on with some more work.
