I've got CDs in my car, listening all the time for that next song, because everybody's looking.

The thing that I've always been slightly frustrated with, was that the idea of a CD is kind of confined to a material possession that you can put on a shelf. And the idea of music, for me, is always about both the communication and the sharing of content. And so the interactive part is missing.

People send me CDs all the time because I love music. It's great. I listen to them in my dressing room or in my car.

With the internet, things are so much more immediate. People taste-test things to see if they want to buy the CD.

I buy DVDs almost every week. I'm more of a film buff, so I usually buy more DVDs than CDs, but if I like someone's album, I will buy the CD of it.

People hang their hopes on you fitting into their CD collection in way that they have made a space for, but I'm playing a longer game than that.

There's a lot about records that you cannot feel from a CD.

To burn a CDR of music you like to give as a gift to someone you wish to become closer to is a cold, moist-palmed, mouth-breathing bummer.

When you get in the pocket, there is a place where the music begins to play itself. When you can find that spot, it's the best feeling in the world.
