I've always been just kind of consumed by my own thoughts.

I hope that books don't go the way of albums and CD, large format albums, and physical product.

The future has a lot to do with the past.

I'll never quit playing country music, or at least acknowledging it, always, as the cornerstone of what I am.

To me, the hook of the riff is what makes a great guitar recording. It's the backbone of the whole song. When you have a strong riff, it's the rocket fuel for the track.

In retrospect I wrote things about my life and my family's existence, I realized that it was a frighteningly harsh way to make a living. And I used to say that they were slowly dying trying to make a living.

No compression or as little as possible - that's how you get a good recording.
