You can't be perfect. You can't be the perfect father. You can't be the perfect singer.

Sometimes, whether you like it or not, people elevate you. It's real easy to fall.

Whatever your walk of life is, I think you have to be real about it.

You can go down the list of great artists and kind of understand that they are products of their environment. Whether it's U2 or Henry Rollins or myself or Johnny Lydon, they're gonna be products of their environment.
