I Had Taken Some Of My Solo Music Into The Record Label. They Didn't Really Care For The Direction I Was Moving In And I Found It Really Disheartening. They Wanted A Pop Hit, Which I Understand In Terms Of Making Money. I Get That. But What They Were Going To Ask Of Me Was Something I Wasn't Prepared To Deliver And I Felt Kind Of Trapped. I Just Stopped Writing. I Just Stopped. It Was Stifling.

I Mean, I Tend To Do My Own Thing, And That Usually Crosses Purposes With Everyone Around Me.

It Is So Hard For Musicians When They Step Into Acting Is They're Not Coming In As A Blank Slate, They're Coming In With A Real Set Idea Of Who They Are, Where They're Coming From, What Their Politics Are, What Their Tastes Are.

I Wanted To Put Out A Solo Record Because I Was Stuck On A Major Label And Sick Of It.

It's Really Difficult To Navigate Attention And Stardom And Celebrity Status And Still Try To Maintain Yourself And Hold Onto Your Intelligence And Integrity. It's Really Challenging.
