But the amount of stuff you have to deal with is incredible, I just can't express how much crazy stuff there is to deal with. You never sleep, eat, are constantly in some weird town or country talking to some journalist who doesn't give a fuck about you in most cases, working 24 hours a day. And the amount of crap is exponentially increasing the more I do with my career. A lot of people gave me shit about my album, about doing music at all. A lot of people made fun of me here in America.
People are so cynical about honesty.
We are living in an age of posturing and posing. I'm more of a honest, experimental, songwriter - and that's not what's happening in music. You are right in saying that musicians and critics liked the album. That's great, that makes me happy. But I wasn't making an album for an elitist intellectual group.
