I get most of my inspiration from older records and older production styles, and that ends up rearing its head in the records that I make.

It's not my style to be thinking about what a record is while I'm making it: I just write songs.

I look at making a record and being in a recording studio as more of a craft; You have to be so much more careful and play simpler.

Once I got a record contract, and I took my songs which weren't quite finished, or maybe they were a good idea, maybe they weren't. I took them into the studio and developed them. They came to life and they evolved... and they're great.

All the records I've made have pretty much been big club turntable records. You need to feel the rhythm.

To be honest, producing records interests me less at the moment and I really don't want to get involved in album projects that are going to take up a lot of time.

You know, I've released some great records and I've released some dogs. But frankly, the fun is in creating the thing.

I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.

Making your own records is really satisfying in the sense that you more or less get to do what you want. It may not sell or whatever, but on an artistic level, the only people that you really have to fight with are the people in your own band.
