I was way behind physically in high school. They had weight bars that were about forty-five pounds. I couldn't handle them. Couldn't even put the weights on. It was embarrassing. So I always figured out ways to avoid lifting when I was young.

When I was four or five, I had an older brother who got paralyzed from the neck down in junior high school. Some kid did a wrestling fall on him and hit his spine. We had to take care of him. I went from being the baby to not really being the baby anymore.

When I was in high school I was 250 pounds.

You're not supposed to have it all figured out in high school. If you knew it all, and it was the best, it's all downhill from there.

I had this fascination with four-track recorders when I was in high school.

I was taught to play that way when I was in high school and even before I got to high school.
