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

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

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.

I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.

You have to shelve a lot of your inspiration. There's only so much you can do with one record.

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.
