There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.
I wasn't a very good teacher.
I don't really know that there's any real rules for songwriting.
I grew up working at a record store and listening to vinyl. Even if it's side A and B, there's always this continuity that really turned me on about music.
Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love.
As an experience, as a listener, for me, I miss the record store. I miss going in and knowing the guy at the counter and being like, "Hey," knowing that he was going to hate the record I put on the counter, and still buying it. That takes some guts.
