It's not just the 'Grammys' that I've pulled out of. I also pulled out of the English awards as well. The reason that I wanted to pull out was because I believe very much that the music industry as a whole is mainly concerned with material success.

Music will always be a part of my life. I love music and I don't care how many units I sell.

I don't like painting flowers in my music. I like painting guts and pain.

Music is a great energizer. It's a language everybody knows.

Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.
