When there's so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you've already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?

When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.

Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do. It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].
