But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.

I would love to do an electronic record. There's just so much to see and do and try. And life goes by.

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.

I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind.

The problem is that I don't want to add another record to the world that is not necessary to be published, except to make some business. There has to be a musical reason.

I'm content with making records, but I don't want to be doing the same thing all the time.

Sometimes you make a record that is what you want to hear. I've made a couple of those, idealized creations of what I wanted to hear. Then there are records that are what you feel.

Yeah, I was in the phase for the last ten years or so where every record I made I said OK, that's the last one, I don't want to record anymore, I don't want to do this any more, I don't want to have a public life.

I suddenly realized that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to become that which I hated - which is the head of a record company or a digital media conglomerate - and just do whatever you want.

With technology you can now be your own record company, director, producer, etc. If you have talent, you can display it on the Internet and the world will tell you their thoughts in the matter of seconds!
