When you're making the record, you're not thinking about an audience, but you still need them and you want them.

A lot of people in the crowd want to be told what to do; if you just put your hands up, they do it.

I like listening to music on a Discman, where the CD spins, and the fact that it's weird to listen to something on a Discman when most people have an iPod, even though those have an internal hard drive that's spinning, too.

If you can do something that doesn't rely on a major melody but still sounds immediate rather than being obtuse and devoid of anything to catch onto, that's great.

You're trying to make music, and then at the end of it you give reasons for everything.

In the recording process, sometimes people feel that there isn't a space for them to contribute.
