One of the things I've really gotten past in the last couple of years is the idea of being made uncomfortable by the way things appear, rather than how things are. Clearly in this business you have to contend with a lot of that.

Something gets lost when you translate. It's hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing.

I don't envy anybody trying to start a career right. There really is no music business left, in a lot of ways.

Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.

All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.

What's interesting to me is drama and conflict. Things aren't interesting without conflict and resolution of conflict - or striving towards a resolutions of conflict.

I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.
