I was always a late bloomer.
I've talked to a bunch of big men who told me they didn't really start playing basketball until seventh or eighth grade. That wasn't the situation with me.
To put it mildly, I was just a very late bloomer.
I'm a late developer.
I was a late bloomer.
I was something of a late bloomer.
People come up to me all the time and say, 'I just found out about you!' Part of me is happy, and part of me is, like, Where the hell have you been?'
In the years between 2000 and 2004, I always got the feeling that people were just starting to hear about me, and they were all late to the game. I'd be out playing shows for records that I recorded back in 1999 that were just coming out.
I think if you play music and you join a scene you're already too late.
