I grew up in arguably the wealthiest town in the United States, Darien, Connecticut, but my mom and I were on food stamps and welfare. My first punk rock show was to an audience of one dog, and my first electronic music show was to Miles Davis.
The weird thing is, things started to go wrong when I stopped feeling that way. In 1999, I thought that my career had ended, my mom had died of cancer, I was battling substance abuse problems, I was battling panic attacks, I'd lost my record deal, and I was making this one last album.
I was like, okay, I'll make this album, I'll put it out, I'll move back to Connecticut, I'll get a job teaching philosophy at some community college, and then all of a sudden, The world embraced me. I handled fame and wealth really disastrously. It was so humiliating. I wouldn't trade any of it.
