There's hardly any precedent for a guy like me to have the career that I've had. Because I grew up the way I grew up, I'm an in-your-face kind of guy. I developed that as a defense mechanism to survive in the streets. I do that in Hollywood in the service of my passion.
Growing up in Michigan, I can't think of anything so explicitly communicated to me in my whole education experience as the vileness of in-your-face racism.
I'm kind of a lot to handle when you first meet me.
The album was very agressive. It kicks you right in the balls.
The drums are very trashy: it's all electric, it's very in your face, and it's not perfect. It's raw, and I think that's what 'garage' means.
'Used To' is one of my favorite records because of its confident, 'in-your-face' lyrics.
Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith weren't polite. They were against the grain. And that's what we want our music to be: rude, aggressive... like real life.
I've seen 3-D movies where it seems a little crude or too in-your-face.
Most of the time, the truth is ugly and in your face! My observational brand of humor is very much all in your face!
A lot of fans have been requesting that in-your-face song, a sense of feeling empowered. And 'Good Woman' is that: a relatable song celebrating the good woman. I'm also really proud of the third verse, which I wrote.
I never do anything just to be crude or in your face.
