Everybody Is Influenced By Someone.

I'm Not A Lyric Writer To Make Statements. What I Enjoy Doing Is Making Paintings With Lyrics, Creating Colorful Images. I Think That's More What Entertainment And Music Should Be.

If You Sold A Million Records, The Only Way You Could Be Disappointed Is If The Guy Down The Street Sold Seven Million. But You've Got To Start Dodging Bullets Once You've Sold That Many Records, Because Everybody Wants To Kill You. We're Not In That Position. We Can Still Be Very Successful And Not Have To Worry About Wearing Bulletproof Vests.
