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.

But I think it's hard for me to only put out one record a year. Because I get too antsy. But it's good I'm learning to do that, because each record counts. And you should make it count.

I don't think I went a year or so without a record between 1959 and 1979, sometimes two.

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

I just wanted to go out and make a record that I've always wanted to make since I was a kid.

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.

If there's room to make a record every year, and it sounds nothing like the old one, I might do that. It's easy to get in and have fun. To me, if it feels right, that's all that needs to be done.

It became a question of do I want to be on a label where it could take three years to put out a record instead of putting out three records over the same period of time on my own.

My original idea was to produce and not make records myself.

I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.
