alter experience
Gnarls Barkley is an alter ego and something like an out of body experience.
brushing fan gently music seems underneath written
Ultimately, I'm a fan of music. I describe writing music sometimes as hieroglyphics, like, you know, excavating, gently brushing off these artifacts and discovering the song underneath it all. It seems as if it is already written in it.
brink crossing entire lose threshold work
To lose my mother just as I'm right on the brink of crossing that threshold over into a career, it was pretty compelling. My entire career is my mother's work, for me.
cleaned people
Well, I've cleaned bathrooms in a warehouse. That was pretty terrible. But I can't complain because I'm sure other people have done worse.
finding success youth
I was one of those kids, inner-city youth and finding my way. I made it. I made a success out of myself, surprisingly.
I'm an artist, and I like the risk - I'm not in it for the sure things.
music time
I cry all the time. Music makes me cry.
famous hope
I think I'll always be famous. I just hope I don't become infamous.
cool fairly life oddball
I've been such an oddball my whole life, but I've always been cool and I've always dressed fairly smartly.
deeply life music opportunity saved voice
Music saved my life. The voice you hear, the soul, the pain, is that of a person who deeply, deeply, deeply appreciates the opportunity they've been given.
ambiguous time top
My style is ambiguous and lucid. I wish to be signified but not summed up. I don't want to have to go over the top each time.
Like most artists, I live out of a suitcase.
ask chance coming danger dynamic taking time walk
I'm all about taking chances. You have to ask yourself, if you're not taking any chances, are you actually even living? Every time you walk out of your door and you're out in the world, you take a chance on not coming back. That is the danger and the dynamic of being alive.
I want a world where everything is welcome, everything is valid, everything is acknowledged, embraced, and accepted. To me, that's a perfect world.
