I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.

I would love to do an electronic record. There's just so much to see and do and try. And life goes by.

You can't write if you can't relate.

Technology was something I avoided when I started out - I didn't even have electric guitars. Only played acoustic. But after a while, I realized that it's important to embrace things that are available in your time, and try to do something different with them.

I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.

The only way I was allowed to play was by convincing bands to let me do a few songs while they set up. That went on for years.

It's so easy to criticize your own time, and I see that as a problem, even for myself, as a listener.
