I found for me that my safe place was work. I could control my environment. I became very fastidious and detailed, and wanted things a certain way.
I can work my butt off and create an album that's wonderful, but if it's never played and never given the outlet, it won't succeed.
I'm more interested in having a place to work out my voice and my body than I am in having furniture.
The point is to be free, not to be crazy.
What's the point of doing something good if nobody's watching.
