People are really set in their ways in how they produce records, and I was at least open enough to where I knew I wanted to do something totally different.

My original idea was to produce and not make records myself.

To me, making records isn't work.

I didn't need to depend on the record company to publish my records.

All my records have been written to be records, rather than writing a group of songs and seeing if they fit together.

People still come up to me and ask me to sign their records. That's right, records! Man, they don't even make records no more!

I always thought that if record companies didn't understand me, fine - I'd go and do it by myself.

You don't need a record company to turn you into anything.

Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes.

I just don't think you can make records easily and have them be great. It's a process. You've got to get really lucky all the time, or you've got to work like mad.
