I think I drift toward sad love songs.

I try to find little things that you can do to move the song along and things that serve the song.

Jeff Lynne is an arranger, and I think it's probably much easier for him to go ahead and play a part himself than to try to show somebody else what he wants. But it's hard for me to say; I barely know Jeff.

I loved Mal Evans holding one note down on You Won't See Me from Rubber Soul.

If you call attention to yourself at the expense of the song, that's the cardinal sin.

Fortunately, as we all know, it's impossible for anybody but Jimmy Smith to really sound like Jimmy Smith.

We started with Denny Cordell, and he was a great record producer. He knew exactly how to take a band that knew absolutely nothing, and guide you without trying to tell you what to do.
