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.

I like to find an artist who inspires me and get into their world and challenge them.

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

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

I realized I liked being in the studio and working on translating the ideas into recordings.

I have a hard time repeating myself.

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