I have a lot of vinyl, but I only buy old records on vinyl. Like secondhand. It's too expensive otherwise.

I miss the experience of walking into a record store and find old stuff without expecting to.

I've been around for such a long time. My first hit record was over 20 years ago and the people who bought my records then are married now and they probably still play these records and their children like them.

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.

I don't spend much time listening to the records when they're done. Usually I let go of it. Especially in the Eighties and Nineties - they were like product, almost.

I buy records from all across the board. I get kind of a hybrid of influences in my own music.

I don't particularly care how many records we sell any more because we've kind of bought all the equipment we want to buy.

I have lots of records, quite a collection, actually, that I stole from my mom. I have the original 'Thriller' album and I have a really great 'Elton John's Greatest Hits,' and I also have a N.E.R.D. album. Records sound more original. They have more edge.

I generally sell my records online or at the show. You can undersell the distributor and the stores, and people know what they're getting cause they've just seen you live.
