So okay, I accepted, and I realized while working for that concert that I'd been missing something very important and vital to me, and that something was music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't know if I had the music for it or if I could pull off the larger concert experience. Then I realized if I can just continue to be myself, I'll be all right.
I decided to make music again at a time when I couldn't have had more obstacles.
Well you know, I've been into music my whole life, so to be able to put an album together with some of that music was awesome.
I think you can see that in the show. Music was my touchstone. Music is still much more important to me.
Touring helped me understand where I needed to be better in my music.
For a long time, I couldn't actually deal with playing concerts; it was a totally alien concept to me, 'cause I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
Success was one of my weakest points. I was so ill-prepared for it. I never appreciated within myself the gift of success. I never accepted it. People gave me so much momentum and love, and people really got my music, but I didn't accept it. That's probably one of my biggest regrets.
Maybe you're going to a concert thinking you're not going to hear anything but music. But you may walk away from there with an answer to a problem that you're carrying around with you that you didn't think you were going to hear about.
So I didn't have anything to do with picking the songs, but I got to musically take them in places I thought might be interesting, so it was a real neat collaboration among the three of us.
