The value of having a computer, to me, is that it'll remember everything you do. It's a databank.

There was a time where I was the youngest one in any group, and now when I turn around sometimes, I'm the oldest one in every group. It just seemed to flip-flop one day - it wasn't a gradual thing.

What I enjoy most about being on stage is that the natural instruments give you a greater freedom with texture. When you use natural instruments they have their own resonance.

Everyone should be encouraged...in spiration and artistic freedom is the cornerstone of rock and roll.

I write in the studio, I don't sit around with a piano or a guitar and write songs. I get satisfaction out of that because I can finish the song really quickly. I can use whatever momentum I have. I've got to put it down, develop it, and get it as far [as I can], because the excitement of the moment of when you get that idea - you want to try and hold it and build on it and really gain strength from it. Being in the studio and writing songs like that is really the best way.

I learn from thinking about the future, what hasn't been done yet. That's kind of my constant obsession.

It would be a stronger world, a stronger, loving world, to die in.
