You can't really imagine music without technology.
Music is part of history, and our history has lessons that cannot be separated from our greatest music.
There's no way that music could ever go down the tubes. I can't imagine a civilization without music. When you realize today that music is such a part of people's lives. And will always be, really.
Even though I have often recorded alone, I still feel the best music is made by musicians playing off each other.
Music has nothing to do with your technical ability.

Music is the one part of the entertainment business where you can't fool anybody into buying a record.
