Will You Take Me As I Am?

My Childhood Was Very Difficult. I Had Every Childhood Disease And Then Some, But My Parents Didnt Mollycoddle Me. They Left Me To Fight Those Battles On My Own. I Guess That Was Very Canadian, Very Stoic. But Its Good. I Had To Become A Warrior. I Had To Give Up Hope And Find A Substitute For Hope That Would Be Far More Stable.

I'm A Method Actress In My Songs, Which Is Why It's Hard To Sing Them.

The Rock & Roll Industry Is Very Incestuous, And We Have All Been Close At One Time Or Another. A Lot Of Beautiful Music And A Lot Of Beautiful Times Came From That. A Lot Of Pain, Too, Because, Inevitably, Different Relationships Broke Up.

I Don't Like Being Too Looked Up At Or Too Looked Down On. I Prefer Meeting In The Middle To Being Worshipped Or Spat Out.

The Bands And The Roadies, Love 'em And Leave 'em. It's Pleasure To Try 'em, But Trouble To Keep 'em.
