I knew a dude whose entire check was going to his car. He didn't care. This is back when the Mustang 5.0 came out in, like, '82. Between paying the note and insurance, I think he had like $40 left. A lot of people knew people because of their car, and not them.

Everybody thinks the grass is greener on the other side. If you talk to most artists, they think they can play something, you know, If I had stayed playing football in high school, if I had been doing basketball... Everybody's got their fantasies and thinks the grass is greener. It's not. It's not.

I've always gotten good grades, you know, with my teachers and my English teachers, 'cause I was able to - they'd say, What did you do for the summer? I'm able to explain it to them in a written form. And my teachers always patted me on the back for that, being able to take what's in my mind and put it on paper.
