If I stunk for some reason, you can always blame it on the character.

At some point in my life, before I was gone, I wanted to make an album, even if it was for no reason other than posterity.

I used to make up stories about my father. I would go to the movies and look for a character who looked like my father.

An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me.

You don't have to be worried about labeling me.

I'm a traditionalist. I have certain values I live by.
