If the chemistry between me and the artist is good, then that's half the battle.

Im still an idealist. My manager is always trying to talk me out of it, but thats just the way I am.

The best bands kept making records and had this evolution, where by the end, by their commercial phase or sellout phase, the records are from outer space.

It's been said to me that I'm self-destructive because I'll walk away from things that are good.

I was a snot-nosed teenage skater at one point, who listened to only punk records and hung around people that had that idea of what is okay to do and what isn't okay to do.
