Miles Davis turned his back to the audience when he came out on stage, and he offended people. But, he wasn't there to entertain; he was all about the music. I kind of do that.

I don't want anything to get in the way of me and my singing. I want my mind as clear as possible.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.
