I Don’t Know Whose Brilliant

With My Recovery Programme, I Have To Do A Daily Inventory Of How My Day Has Been. I Am Terribly Dyslexic And Have Attention Deficit Disorder, So I Have To Carry A Tape Recorder Everywhere I Go.

We Were Always Told We Were One Step Behind Deep Purple, One Step Behind Led Zeppelin, One Step Behind Everybody. Our Manager Didn't Want To Let Us Know How Popular We Were.

I've Got Many, Many Demons That Affect Me On Many, Many Levels. A Few Years Ago, I Was Convinced Of That - I Thought I Truly Was Possessed By The Devil. I Remember Sitting Through The Exorcist A Dozen Times, Saying To Myself, 'yeah, I Can Relate To That. I Really Wish I Knew Why I've Done Some Of The Things I've Done Over The Years. I Don't Know If I'm A Medium For Some Outside Source. Whatever It Is, Frankly, I Hope It's Not What I Think It Is - Satan.”
