I try not to do email; I try to talk to people on the phone.

I grew up I guess you'd say in the cassette era.

You just want to go back to those 70s albums. Even a lot of the 90s indie records were still done on tape, and you hear the difference.

I never had any expectations of winning a Grammy. It wasn't something I was set on, that I was hoping and praying and starving for.

Somebody else is satisfied by five Bentleys. I'm satisfied by a beautiful string arrangement.

There's more well-known artists who aren't making as good songs as people who are just coming out of nowhere. That seems to be more typical in the last few years than ever.

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.
