My first venture was to trade bicycle parts and hosiery yarn. The initial days proved to be difficult, and I earned very little from my business. But I kept at it. Each day, when I retired for the night, I told myself that money would come in the next day.

Some years I'm the coolest thing that ever happened, and then the next year everyone's so over me, and I'm just so past my sell date.

I've sold my records outta shopping carts on the street.

At 19, I was in the streets making money. I was surviving.

I actually quit the business. I went and drove a truck for a year and a half.

One summer vacation, I carried water to the town market to sell it, and I used some of the money I made to help a neighbour.

I've turned down lots and lots of work. Things that could have made me some money.

I used to get my money at the end of the week, buy my mum something, or buy a record, and that was it.

There was one year that I was on the road.
