I have to say, without sounding like a total tosser, that everything I've learned in life, and that has taken me out of my natural interior life, has been with men. They exposed me to things that I wasn't aware of. I learned from all the guys.

When I was nine years old, I started playing guitar, and I took classical guitar lessons and studied music theory. And played jazz for a while.
