I really didn't have any plans to record prior to doing My Own Best Enemy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
So it was just a case of getting a bunch of songs that I had been writing for years but hadn't recorded together, and the result was My Own Best Enemy.
I started recording because I was always complaining about the records that I was getting of my songs. At least if I did them and messed them up, I wouldn't have anyone else to blame.
I haven't really been recording in the last several years. I haven't wanted to. And even though I had to deal with Sony and now I'm on Universal again, I will probably put out a new record soon.
I never record anything like a demo, I just go for it.
I will never do a record without some sense of responsibility.
People don't understand the kind of fight it takes to record what you want to record the way you want to record it.
What I do and what I record only work for the moment.
I'm never in my life going to do a record that's a tribute to myself. I don't need it.
I never record in front of anybody.
I've never recorded anything I didn't like.
