You can't live in your own secluded world. If you're not on the Tube, on the bus doing normal things, how can you relate to people?
All I care is that my family, and my loved ones, understand me. Or that they understand me to a degree - I don't understand me very much. And I don't need the world to understand me. That is the most egocentric thing.
I didn't have a particular persona. I'm not Alice Cooper, you know?
