The rock-star thing became very destructive, like, wow. I didn't know what I was doing. I just kind of became that thing. The hair, that rock-star kind of lifestyle, just living a dream.

The apparent world, the one which is perceived, with its figures, its brightness, its colors, is a psychical product, a creation of the observer.
