I pick up the New York Times or Time and it's talking about the latest rock group, which I'm sure is exciting to some people, but it neglects a huge area of music.

Music is such a problem in the time it takes.

It's sometimes impossible to fit in all the music we want to fit in, in an hour and 45 minute show.

Maybe one day music will just be music, and there won't be these categories; it'll just be different shades of music.

Songs really are like a form of time travel because they really have moved forward in a bubble. Everyone who's connected with it, the studio's gone, the musicians are gone, and the only thing that's left is this recording which was only about a three-minute period maybe 70 years ago.

The tricky thing is music is supposed to be very mysterious; the way it's made is mysterious. Then people like to get upset with the music business.

The music technology scene is changing so fast it's hard to keep up.

If you give yourself too much time, you kind of over-obsess about the music. It's not supposed to be like that.

Every once in a while, we have some sort of movement in music that everyone suddenly wants to work in, like grunge or rap or disco or some other musical phase, and then suddenly, that'll be the thing to do.
