It's so funny: whenever there's a new technology introduced, there's always this fear it's going to end entertainment as we know it. When records came around, they were going to be the end of live music. Nobody would ever want to go see live music again.

I think the music business is probably not happy with what we've done, because the people buying the record have actually got to pick what they want to buy, rather than being told what they should buy.

I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car.

I think when you put a new record out, everyone has a song or two that they feel people will be moved by so much that radio will be forced to play it.

Today, if you were to look at my CD collection, it might scare some people.

I don't spend much time listening to the records when they're done. Usually I let go of it. Especially in the Eighties and Nineties - they were like product, almost.

I always feel like there's something magic in recording studios. There's a reason good music continues to be made in them. It's just some mojo element.

Most of the people I know in bands, all they are concerned about is getting to do the next record.

I'm never scared what people are gonna think about music that I make.
