Stubborn isn't a word I would use to describe myself; pigheaded is more appropriate.
I guess I would use one word to describe myself: determined.
If I had to use a single word to describe what is fundamentally wrong with government today, I would use the word fraud.
There's a word like overprotective to describe some parents, but no word that means the opposite. What word do you use to describe parents who don't protect enough? Underprotective? Neglectful? Self-involved? Lame? All of the above.
My favorite word to use to describe myself is relentless.
People you don't like are pigheaded. Your friends are stubborn, or hold to their purpose.
I would describe myself as having a healthy income, but I sure wouldn't describe the son of a postmaster and an encyclopedia saleswoman as upper class, by any stretch of the imagination. I would describe myself as decidedly middle class. I think I'm extremely fortunate.
'Easy' is not a word I would ever use to describe touring.
When people grow up in atmospheres of violence or atmospheres of poverty, they don't normally use hi-falutin' language to describe those things. They would describe some brutal event the same way we would describe getting a taxi or missing the bus.
'Tough' is one of the last adjectives I would use to describe myself.
If I were to try to describe the way in which I write, the only word I would use without qualification is 'slowly.'
I feel like if I were to get another tattoo, it would probably be those two words. Just stubborn, stubborn, stubborn gladness.
Everybody gets a tag. If you listen to a Velvet Underground record, you don't think, 'Godfathers of Punk.' You just think, 'This sounds great.' The tags are there in order to help try to sell something by giving it a name that's going to stick in somebody's memory. But it doesn't describe it. So 'depressing' isn't a word I would use to describe my music. But there is some sadness in it -- there has to be, so that the happiness in it will matter.
The question is, what are appropriate words and inappropriate words for network television, and what's the context? Was this appropriate in this context? Or are you creatively trying to find a way to use that word on the air?
I've always said I got to where I am not by being a great singer, but by being stubborn, by being tenacious, by being pigheaded.
I think if you would like to describe composing as an act with one word, "slow" would be the word.
I don't use the word 'pressure.' I use the word 'expectation.' I have very high expectations of myself. It starts with me.
