You can get so many sounds out of one record. Every record can be used in some way.

But I think it's hard for me to only put out one record a year. Because I get too antsy. But it's good I'm learning to do that, because each record counts. And you should make it count.

Yeah, I record on voice memos. I got like 1,000-something memos. If I'm in the middle of something and I can't get it done, I'll jot it down, but I never write a rap out, ever.

When you make a record, you listen to it literally hundreds of times. When it's done and you can't do anything else, I never listen to my records.

I record all night and sleep all day.

I have been recording for five decades now.

I write a song to be recorded. And to some extent to be performed, but definitely more to be recorded than performed, because the recording will last longer than a performance.

I started performing at two or three on a tape recorder, one of those little flat recorders where you just push play and record.

Back in the day, I used to be in the studio recording 20 hours a day. And that was all of the time. I still record a lot of hours, but I don't go as long as I used to.

I never record anything like a demo, I just go for it.
