I don't listen to my own records a lot. Once in a while - to check out my mistakes. Because you can always see a spot or two in the record where you could have done better. So you more or less study this way.

Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes.

I am a record executive and I shall be right there in your face with my records.

They told me I should be making my own records. So I figured, 'why not?

My favorite records are not easy - they're not records that reveal everything to you the first time out.

I was trying to do the same thing that I always do which is make an interesting record.

I make records with an open mind, I always have.

I didn't have a lot to do with the first record.

I just don't think you can make records easily and have them be great. It's a process. You've got to get really lucky all the time, or you've got to work like mad.

This record is probably as easy as anything I've ever done.
