A certain death of an artist is overconfidence.

The ability to make music is a gift that you're born with; it's not something you can learn.

I feel I've been blessed with a gift of creativity and composition. That's why I've been able to keep going.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

In my writing with Extreme, there are heavy themes. The cover photo has me with a gun to my neck. I am not advocating suicide. I am taking the philosophy that man is the measure of his own fate.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.
