Back then, Pro Tools only had four or eight tracks, so we couldn't actually hear all the tracks. We could only hear eight at a time, so if a song had 25 or 30 tracks, we wouldn't be able to hear it until we went into the studio an put it all on tape. The process was a little bit backwards.

I remember you would record a guitar part, and we would have to sit there for 15 or 20 minutes waiting for the computer to process it. You'd see the little wheel spinning on the computer, and you'd be praying that the hard drive didn't crash and you didn't lose the performance.

There are certain records that you love because the songs are great, but you don't go to them as an example of great production.

I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

I had long hair when I was a teenager.

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

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