Summary

This quote highlights the idea that the speaker's weaknesses lie not in their passions, but rather in their inability to exert control over those passions. It suggests that having strong emotions and desires is not inherently faulty or a sign of failure, but rather the lack of discipline or self-regulation is what leads to personal shortcomings. The quote may serve as a recognition of personal responsibility and an acknowledgment of the need to develop better control over one's emotions and desires in order to avoid negative outcomes.

The part you don't expect when you start out is all the people who come into your life wanting a piece of you, not caring about your wellbeing. The insane schedule is very difficult. Touring looks very glamourous but it's hard and gruelling - the travelling, the meet-and-greets - it was too crazy.

We're born alone. We do need each other. It's lonely to really effectively live your life, and anyone you can get help from or give help to; that's part of your obligation.

O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship,Of a ship

O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship,Of a ship that goes a sailing on the pond;And my ship it keeps a-turning all around and all about;But when I'm a little older, I shall find the secret outHow to send my vessel sailing on beyond.For I mean to grow a little as the dolly at the helm,And the dolly I intend to come alive;And with him beside to help me, it's a-sailing I shall go,It's a-sailing on the water, when the jolly breezes blowAnd the vessel goes a dive-dive-dive.O it's then you'll see me sailing through the rushes and the reeds,And you'll hear the water singing at the prow;For beside the dolly sailor, I'm to voyage and explore,To land upon the island where no dolly was before,And to fire the penny cannon in the bow.
