I can only stand to sit in front of my computer for three or four hours a day. Otherwise it can get really soul-sucking.

I rarely assess live shows after I play them.

I think Pro Tools is pretty analogous to how people composed music on tape back in the 70s, taking little fragments of things and saying, 'How can we organize these in a sensible way'?

I build the individual modules to meet a demand. If I need the music to change direction, I want to have the tools to be able to do that.

I use a laptop more as a tool, as sort of the central artery. Everything goes through the digital audio card of my computer, but if I had my druthers I'd do everything in dedicated hardware.

I'm not a perfectionist by a long shot, but self-doubt is a large part of my creative process.

People have a hard time going to a club and seeing this business tool on stage that's wholly indicative of everything that rock is not. Rock is not about sitting in an office setting up documents, yet they see someone on stage doing that.
