It is so common to write autobiographical fiction in which your own experience is thinly disguised.

Obviously any fiction is going to be a combination of what is invented, what is overheard, what is experienced, what is experienced by people close to you, what you are told, what you have read, all mixed together into this kind of soup which, like any good soup, at the end you cannot really distinguish the ingredients.

There are times when I myself no longer know whether I said and did the things I report or whether I dreamed them up. Anyway, I always dream true. If I lie a bit now and then it is mainly in the interest of truth.

Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.

There are autobiographical elements to the albums, and when I write, I always reference my own life as well as other things, so I'm just like any novelist or any fiction writer who tells stories.

He holds no hard feelings. A lot of times the truth is stranger than fiction. This is an unusual case. In 15 years, I have never seen anyone come up on these charges.
