Summary

This quote reflects the behavior of individuals who become dependent on others to the extent that they cease to take initiative or responsibility for their own actions.

The more assistance they receive, the more their sense of personal agency diminishes, suggesting that excessive aid can inadvertently inhibit personal growth and self-reliance.

I did Albert Hall, I got to play the Hall of Fame with Prince. So I've done that kind of stuff for ages. It wasn't until after we finished working on Brainwash, my dad's album after he died, then it was like 'That phase is over in my life now, now we can get on with our music, with our band.'
