Where you record is very important. It can't be too nice, it can't be too expensive, it can't have a view to an ocean or a field.

If you're famous and supposedly wise, it's always a good idea to have a tape recorder in the room. Never can tell when you might spew out a line or two worth printing somewhere.

If you listen to really deep ambient records that don't move too much, very still records, long after those records are finished, you might find yourself listening for hours to the sound of the room.

Recording at home enables one to eliminate the demo stage, and the presentation stage in the studio, too.

My process is to be by myself when I record. It's quite an emotional performance to pull off when someone else is in the room. I prefer to go away and have my own time with it, bring it in later.

I don't like recording studios - except my own, which is just a little room above the garage.

The house is in turmoil with records on every space. In the kitchen and in the dining room is covered with records. I don't have a big enough house to accommodate everything.

Little things can make such a big difference during recording.
