Everyone has his own agenda, and it can overshadow the important thing, which is to capture a great performance. They listen to it and think, "Oh, I'm not mixed loud enough...I missed a note there...I'm a half-step off on the turnaround."

I am amazed and thrilled and unbelievably proud about my team's performance.

I'm in a state of learning, and I don't have any set-in-stone ideas about what shows or even what eras I want to pursue.

I want everyone to be able to have the same experience through the music as me. It's important to get it out.

There are enough painful experiences that go along with this trip that it keeps me in reality. It ain't all gems and roses.

I'm the proverbial kid in the candy store. I'm a guy who is lucky enough to have been chosen to turn his compulsive hobby into a profession. If I didn't have my job, I'd be doing almost the same thing for free.

It's kind of hard to find something that will get your juices flowing if you're somewhat critical. I have a hard time finding great things for myself in '94 and certainly in '95.
