If we're born in God's image, then God knows how we can fuck up. And he knows that you really didn't mean it. - Tom Petty

I had to learn a new way of playing. I had to practice a lot, and just find ways around the limitations. So it was a bad idea to break my hand.

You said you were doing a lot of cocaine. Did that affect your songwriting?

No. I think it affected my breaking my hand.

Artists aren't necessarily business people. And they aren't necessarily aware of all the things that go on in their names. Some just want to make some music, but there is a lot of greed among artists as well. Whether or not we know it, we are all to blame. I think it's time — starting with the artist — to try to be a little more responsible and aware of what goes on in our name.

Well I won't back down,
No I won't back down.
You could stand me up at the gates of hell,
But I won't back down.
