When I feel like every day when I get up I'm writing songs, that's the time to make a record.

I still hold on to the idea that a record can really change the way I feel.

I mean, at the end of the day when I'm making a record, what I want to do is what I do.

Oddly, when I started to make the record, I wasn't aware I was making a record. I just was sort of disgusted with the whole thing and sequestered myself in the basement and started playing the piano just for something to do.

Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music.

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 was trying to do the same thing that I always do which is make an interesting record.

When you make a record, you listen to it literally hundreds of times. When it's done and you can't do anything else, I never listen to my records.

It's a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that's a good thing.

I tested the waters on producing a record, but I'm more of a creative guy. I can't get into minute details.
