Who's to say what's a good voice and not a good voice?

I don't think of Kurt as 'Kurt Cobain from Nirvana'. I think of him as 'Kurt'. It's something that comes back all the time. Almost every day.

There's nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.

Most people don't take some things into consideration. When they hear an album, they hear the artist or they hear the lyric or they hear the melody. But they don't really think about the environment in which it was recorded, which is so important. It's that thing that determines what the album sounds like.

I think maybe what happened was the convenience of technology overshadowed the experience of holding an album in your hands, and sitting on your bedroom floor, and staring at a picture of John Lennon or Gene Simmons or Johnny Rotten. That tangible experience can sometimes become an even more emotional experience, because it's really happening.

It's funny, there aren't too many musicians that also moonlight as studio engineers. There's a few - the really brilliant ones.

If you're trying to connect to people with music - it's more of an outward process and a lot of times musicians can be very inward.
