reserved anti-showman off stage -- to name the most rock star-ish
thing about himself, he told us he relates to Mariah Carey.
"Especially when you live in hotels, it's like this is my home, and
I wouldn't necessarily choose for all these fucking hotels as my
home but if I'm making my coffee at home I can have it the
temperature I want...It's very easy to see how Mariah Carrey ends
up in this bubble where she's in the wrong place and destroying her
hotel room."
