Too often, I have not been what I wanted to be; I've succumbed to pressures. Yes, I have. The things I've done that I liked, I've always done against advice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of times, in the beginning of my career, I put pressure on myself just because I wanted to perform so well. I just wanted to be perfect.
I try not to give too much advice, really, because people have to do their things their way. I got lots of advice when I was young, and I ignored most of it - the good and the bad.
When I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful.
Growing up, I put a lot of pressure on myself. I felt with The Beatles legacy that there was pressure on me to do music, and while I always loved music and it was always around me at home, I thought about doing other things.
I put a lot of pressure on myself, more than anyone else.
I've done a lot of things in my life.
Too often, I've put my career and helping others ahead of my own needs.
I have learned one thing in my life: If I put too much pressure on myself, then everything goes wrong.
I've always, for whatever my faults have been, felt like I've never done anything halfway.
I've never... when I was having songs on the airwaves, and that sort of thing, I never felt a sense of pressure anywhere except from myself, to do things the way I wanted to do them; to feel authentic; to feel like I was presenting my true self to the world.
