I really don't think records should be made in the manner where you sit and write, and when you're finished writing, you start recording. That just seems conventional and old-fashioned to me.

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.
It's not my style to be thinking about what a record is while I'm making it: I just write songs.
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.
Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there's a natural desire to want to make records.
All my records have been written to be records, rather than writing a group of songs and seeing if they fit together.
A record is just a snapshot of where you are at any time.
It was kind of easier for me to do records that didn't take a year or two years of my life to write and to make.
I write and record all the time; it's my hobby and my passion.
I write a song to be recorded. And to some extent to be performed, but definitely more to be recorded than performed, because the recording will last longer than a performance.
