There's a vulnerability in music but you've also got to protect your sacred place and have a place you can still retire to that no one else knows about. So that's a thing I just try to balance.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I seem to have secured some place in world of music and that's kind of all that really matters to me.
My music is about being strong, even in your vulnerability.
As a musician, life is not over just because you are getting older, and so I find retirement a very frightening and dark thought.
I hope people learn the power of vulnerability through my songs. I think vulnerability can save the world. Empathy helps people connect with each other.
Music is my life. It is sacred.
There's all these musicians in the world, and anybody that takes enough time to create a record or even think about the fantasy of rock & roll, it's a vulnerable place to be in, it's a huge thing to do.
I'm definitely a risk-taker with my music.
I don't live in as much fear as I used to. I'm not afraid of the music business. Life is too damn short. I know what's important, and the tasks are very clear.
Playing music is just one of the best things. I can't retire.
I think music needs danger; it needs risk.
