I Don't Even Consider Myself An Impressionist,

No Matter How Much You Screw Up Your Own Life By The Wrong Decisions That You Make, It's Never Too Late To Do The Right Thing And Change Your Ways And You Can Teach Old Dogs New Tricks.

I Was Listening To Jimi Hendrix And Pink Floyd, Because That Was New Music For Me. I Really Hadn't Been Up On Them. I Mean, I'd Heard Of Them, But I Wasn't Up On Their Music. And I Kept Listening To Radiohead, And I Was Like, Man, I Want To Make Hip-hop That Feels Like Radiohead. I Want To Make Hip-hop That Can Use Guitars And Soul And Jazz And Just Fuse It All Together.

I Just Had Some Of The Same Journalists That Panned Electric Circus At The Time, They Just Listened To Universal Mind Control And They Loved It. And Then They Went Back To Tell Me That Electric Circus, If It Came Out At Today, It Would've Had A Different Reception. One Of Them Told Me, "hey, Man. You Need To Bring It Out Again." And I Said, "hey, It's Cool. It Is What It Is."

Well, I Could Be Wrong, But I Believe Diversity Is An Old, Old Wooden Ship That Was Used During The Civil War Era.

I Was A Strange Kid In That, While Most Kids Hate School And Want To Turn 18 Or 21, I Loved High School.
