Because I saw that, when I gave someone else my songs, they never understood them. I realised that if I was going to have any dignity, as far as music was concerned, I had to contribute almost everything myself in - to myself. But, then again. I suppose much of it comes from being so solitary, because I don't mix very much. It seems from the people who surround me that it's a good way to live.
Nice things rub off and it seems to almost build a community.
If you come to terms with that then everything else becomes joy, like going out and meeting people. Committing myself is something I do very privately. In other words, I don't like to lay my thing on everyone else. For instance, if there's a conversation about something political . . . I feel I know the answers, but for me to try and explain them would be insulting.
