The thing that bothered me when I was in college was that I saw myself rejecting the way of life that got me to where I was.

I was never a liberal. I was radical. I was cynical. I was negative. But, I was never a liberal. I always saw that as too lukewarm for me.

College wasn't something I saw myself doing.

The thing of playin' and singin' never bothered me.

Being myself is what got me to where I am.

It's really odd that I've got this kind of sullen reputation - I never saw myself that way.
