There's pros and cons of a big church. Cons is I don't get to know everybody, I don't get to go to their ballgame, I don't get to marry everybody, but the pros are you get all this community, 800 ushers come in to serve, getting there at 7 in the morning on their day off and coming in on Saturday to make all those wafers.

In my opinion, no single design is apt to be optimal for everyone.

You know honestly, I enjoy working with everyone because remember, these were all real pros that had been around the business a long time.

I'm a big believer in free enterprise. If people want to try it, then go for it.

The good thing about Pro Tools is you can actually hear what you're working on, so it doesn't just become this intellectual idea. But Pro Tools can be dangerous, too. It can make things sterile.
