I just want to be in the studio 24/7. Even if I'm not working on a song right then, just sit in the studio. That's what I love.

The studio is really fun because I don't make it into the studio unless I've got something I really like. I love working with different musicians in the studio; that's a real joy, working with someone for the first time.

A studio is like a meditation room where music is created. And a live performance is the place where the creation of the studio is taken ahead. I love both.

I do a lot of performing, but don't get a chance to go to the studio and write good music.

I'm never tired of going to the studio. I enjoy recording and documenting everything and trying new things.

Being on my own in a studio is really, really different than making music with the band. I can't say I necessarily enjoy it more, but it was just a new experience for me.

I love making movies, but there's nothing like performing live.

Playing live was always definitely a lot more fun. You picture it: working alone in the studio eight or 10 hours a day with nobody else there, being frustrated and driven crazy by all of the things that you have to deal with, vs. thousands of people screaming and singing along with you playing.

The studio is not the place to write. You need to be 75% ready when you go into the studio, and then the music can develop to the next stage.
