I'm sure the music is going to come out. I'm not sure if I'm going to put out 12"s or put the songs on my website. I just have to get them done.

I didn't want to do something typical.

Sea Change was so specific. From the beginning it was set what it was going to be. All the other ideas that I had at the time I had to put to the side.

No one should drive a hard bargain with an artist.

You spend so many months and years in the studio, and you see the clock ticking and so much time spent on the minutiae of technical things. And I just thought it'd be fun to do something extremely fast and get that rush of something that had some energy, something that you weren't tired of when you finished it.

There's a perception that if an artist produces another artist, they're going to imprint on them. But I'm the opposite.

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