I'm an engineer. I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers... They use my tools.

I'm a machine man, and I head a machine.

When you're dealing with machines or anything that you build, it either works or it doesn't, no matter how good of a salesman you are.

I have problems with machines which aren't gestural.

You have to work at everything. You've got to make it work.

I am such a gearhead. In my recording studio, I personally engineer and edit everything on computers.

In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

I'm a job creator.

I'm not a programmer myself, but I am a very, very picky end user of technology. I like my machines to work they way they're supposed to, all the time.
