Quote

I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.

I only wanted to be a songwriter. I never wanted to be a singer. And I never wanted to be famous.

Nobody really thought I was going to make it, because I was a musician. I really wasn't a singer.

I did everything I could to not be a musician.

I didn't get into making music for the fame aspect. There are people who do desire that.

I didn't even listen to any music until I was 19, really. I just wanted to be famous. But I didn't say it to anyone because I was really embarrassed at the thought.

I never wanted to be famous. I only wanted to be great.

I wasn't born with a natural talent for songwriting.

I never wanted to be famous.

I was never a singer; I can't play any instruments; I had no training. Plus, I was brought up in a time when all the great rock stars were male. I didn't have any template for what I was doing. I did what I did out of frustration and concern.
