I'm not like a voracious hoarder who has 50,000 albums of vinyl stacked in a storage space in the San Fernando Valley. But I do have albums from the last 40 years of my life.

Joining a band without ever having really met the people before, you just want to be musically powerful.

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.

You will only be great at things you love to do don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.

I was at a New Year's Eve party, and someone asked me how was my year, and I said, 'I honestly think 2011 was the best year of my entire life,' and I actually meant it.

A lot of the records you buy, there's nothing you can hold in your hand, it's all 1′s and 0′s, this digital cloud floating in the ether, but with analog albums, you can hold it in your hand.

Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.
