I was doing stuff that for me was sort of more about playing real music.

I stayed involved with music my whole life. I was always playing with other people.

I didn't have to see this big clock on the wall and worry. Most of the record I made was experimental. If you have a lot of time to do that you don't have to worry about the money, plus, I had no money. It was more out of necessity than choice.
