I am sorry, folks, but I had to quote this from that interview, almost exactly at the time when he resigned from Apple...history repeats itself:
"That is why it’s hard doing interviews and being visible: As you are growing and changing, the more the outside world tries to reinforce an image of you that it thinks you are, the harder it is to continue to be an artist, which is why a lot of times, artists have to go, "Bye. I have to go. I’m going crazy and I’m getting out of here." And they go and hibernate somewhere. Maybe later they re-emerge a little differently."
I really hope he re-emerges differently..!
