Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music.

I don't quite know what a record is anymore. I don't quite know how to describe it. Don't know how to define it yet, so I'm just letting it gestate, and grow and see if maybe I'll get a better sense of what a record is.

A good record transports you to another place.

I still hold on to the idea that a record can really change the way I feel.

People don't always realize that a record is forever. It'll always be there under your name. You've got to be certain that it's right.

Some amazing records have this power to leave you with inspiration; you're left with the urge to write something. And some records are totally overwhelming, because they are so good, they burn the bridges behind them.

All records are riddles, and whatever you may want people to think it's about, it may just be throwing them off. And you don't want it to get in the way of what someone else's understanding is. It's not really about anything. At the same time, it will find some meaning.

I love the idea of a record containing an entire universe; where the sounds span decades of recording from all over the world and all sorts of different sources.

When you make a great record, it's around forever.
