I've got a pretty good musical ear, and I can pick things up.

I want to hear as much music as I possibly can before I leave this mortal coil but it's impossible to hear it all because there's so much of it.

Your limitations create your sound.

I like so many different kinds of music that I've never allowed myself the limitations of one particular range.

You have 'listeners' ears' when you're just starting out, and your 'listeners' ears' tell you what will work. You lose those ears later, when you break songs down into production elements too much.

I have a pretty good ear.

I carry music in my head, so I don't need more. It drives me nuts that, in hotels or on boats, people seem to think you need music 24 hours a day.

I think you'll always be able to do what your ear tells you.

If you listen too much, you won't be able to create.

I try to listen to as much different music as possible - I've always got music blasting in my ears!
