I've got a life, you know, take me in the totality of my actions and I'll tell you, I will stand with my record.

I have a record that I'm so very, very proud of, and no campaign is going to take that away.

I'm very proud of my records, but my most natural creative tendencies have been in live performing. There's a beautiful element to recording and making records, but I've always felt a little shy with it.

I am a record executive and I shall be right there in your face with my records.

To me not one thing is better than anything else, I'm completely proud of everything I've written and recorded.

I've always done things myself. I've never bragged or screamed that I produced a record before. I never told anybody.

I don't go there much. You're thrilled that people would recognize what you're doing in such a grand kind of way. But, just like you don't know if anybody's really going to like what you're doing when you put a record out or if anybody's going to pay attention to it, you can't really go there.

You make a record because you have to chart your progress, not only for yourself, but for your audience.

I'm kind of proud of myself. I've been able to keep a certain grace about me, even in the times of disgrace and craziness.

Showing your life so public is a mistake sometimes, but I blame myself as much as anyone else.
