The music industry has always been a beast, which would eat you up and spit you out.
I'm in a crazy business. The music industry is really tough, and I fight for my life. I just want to make everybody happy.
Nice guys just don't finish first in the music industry.

I said to myself a long time ago that I didn't want to be that hanging-on-for-too-long, aging-rock-musician guy, and that's why I sort of got away from music.
