Just how do I design if not with prototyping? An excellent question. The short answer is 'on paper.'

I just like so many different kinds of music that I like experimenting. I don't want to keep making the same record over and over and over. I'm an 'evolve or die' kind of a musician. I think it's cool to try new things.

If you are not going to produce albums then you are not going to produce new fans. It's impossible. I'm a huge believer in putting music out as quickly as early as possible, touring hard and then working on putting the next one out. I don't need to break. I just need to put a record out.

Computers no longer interface with humans--they interact, and the interaction will become steadily deeper, more subtle, and more crucial to our collective sanity and ultimate survival.

Design principle: Take things away until the design breaks, then put that last thing back in.

It's harder than you might think to squander millions of dollars, but a flawed software development process is a tool well suited to the job.

I just try and learn to be a good husband and be a good father before I am a good rock star. That means saying no to certain things that go with the business.
