If I have resistance to something, it means there’s something wrong. The resistance to me is a sign of fear.
In my particular instance, I came from a family that didn’t have anything. Everything I earned in life I made. Myself. With songs that I wrote.
I’m from a lower middle class background all my family were immigrants.
I grew up in the suburbs and basically associate the suburbs with cultural death.
You know Americans are obsessed with life and death and rebirth, that’s the American Cycle. You know, awakening, tragic, horrible death and then Phoenix rising from the ashes. That’s the American story, again and again.
There are people out there who are older who are cool. I want that.
I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.
One thing I’ve learned to appreciate as I’ve gotten a little older is direct forms of communication.
I did 13-something years of talking to wrestlers and promoters about why they did certain things and why they booked matches a certain way and what they were thinking and whether they were satisfied with the draw. And I got a lot of insight in the business.
I’m not interested in pop art.
