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 had long hair when I was a teenager.

I enjoy the collaboration. I always envied people in bands who got to have that interaction.

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

With modern recording techniques, and living in the Pro Tools era, the process gets really drawn-out, and it can become painstaking.

I think trying to be offbeat is the most boring thing possible.

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.
