To be honest, making albums is really never easy. It's always a bit excruciating because there's always this fight to make it great, and then you hit these stumbling blocks along the way.

I just really want to make albums - and however I can, I will.

It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.

I'm not a slave to the recording industry. I have the freedom to make an album that I want to make and do it the way I want.

I tend to just do whatever I want on an album and try to make it work. I'm just adventurous. It's most exciting to be at the edge of your abilities. I want to see how far I can push things.

If something gets too easy... I want to do something else. But every album is going to be me, no matter what.

If I could make albums quicker, I'd be on a roll wouldn't I? Everything just seems to take so much time. I don't know why. Time... evaporates.

I always want to make an album that lets people immerse in it, kind of like you get caught up in a good movie.

I have a lot of albums yet to do.

A lot of my albums that I've done, a lot of the songs have been the first take. It's before you mess with it too much - you can take away all the spontaneity and the emotion of something by trying to make it sound perfect.
