I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you're a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don't see so much of that anymore.

I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.

If you come from art, you'll always be art.
