We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.

My personal feeling is that human beings have this incredible capacity for denial.

In a certain way, you get some new tools to work with, but I don't know if it ultimately makes the creative process any easier.

I have trouble imagining what I could do that's beyond the practicality of what I can do.

I think it's really hard to make songs that pursue an agenda. You can kind of do it a little bit through a character, so the character gives voice to something or their story, the story of the character tells you something, but, for me anyway, it's really hard to write directly about politics.

What's been missing from digital music sales has been the possibility of added depth. In a printed package one can only include so many images and so much text - for example - but digitally it's wide open. For the most part at the moment we get less information for slightly less money - though we could be getting a lot more.
