Get down with your old Allman Bros. records!

I've done shows with orchestras, and I like writing with orchestras.

All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.

While it's a great indulgence, it's also very interesting to have three bass players on the same track.

At home I don't really have any drum machines or anything like that, I just have a piano and a cassette machine, an old-fashioned one, an old relic which I've always used.

Why should I spoil my mood by wearing an ugly suit?

It's not a very high failure rate if you choose people that you really like the sound of.
