For six years, from 1985 to 1991, I felt pretty weak and useless.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had a similar year back in 1984 when I felt like I couldn't lose.
I had five years of failure, really, before I had the first initial sign of success.
Thinking back to those earlier days, I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies, and then when I was, I thought I was weak as a family member.
I think that in the last four or five years I've constantly struggled with the balance in my life.
I was kind of lost for several years.
Five years ago we were working on a new album when my health began failing.
In 1979, when I was 39, I had such a bad year, I thought it was all over. Thankfully it wasn't.
I was pretty burned out in '85 and was getting - starting to get into some issues.
For about the first ten years of my career, I wasn't terribly motivated.
I basically took six or seven years off, but then I had another five or four of me not working at all because I was in school. It was really 13 years of me not working at all... I really couldn't even think about it.
