As a kid, I always idolized entrepreneurs. I thought they were cool people in the way that I thought basketball players were cool people. It’s cool that some people get paid to dunk basketballs, but I’m not one of those people.
All I can tell you is I played with Johnny Mitchell. Johnny Mitchell was one of the greatest athletic talents I ever played with, but I could never trust him.
One of the things I love about doing things that are creative is that I feel like it’s my right as an artist not to be affected by the reactions of those people that are going to hear my songs.
All my life, I have been a failure. A failure when I dropped out of college, A failure when I started my career. A failure when I wrote a book, A failure when my business closed down but, a failure to others, not to myself. And, you can also turn your failures into success, just like I did!
