I think in a way I was probably completely naive about what it takes to make something become a hit.
From Duncan Sheik
I'd have these weird experiences where I'd just be walking down the street with this chord progression in my head, this happened more than a few times, and I'd walk home and find a fax in my machine and it would match the music in my head.
Happy music doesn't tend to move me much.
I make the kind of music I like.
Things come to me pretty regularly. There is never a shortage or a backlog.
I mean, at the end of the day when I'm making a record, what I want to do is what I do.
Lately I've been a workaholic. I'm in the studio all the time and I've helped to produce a couple of artists.
The difficult thing about a pop record is that you're given guidelines: it has to have 3 choruses, and then it must be between 3 minutes fifteen seconds and three minutes forty-five seconds.
I wouldn't say that I've had a tough life by any stretch of the imagination.
I feel fortunate about being able to make the music I want to make and getting away with it.
