When I was a teenager, I learned that in order to play guitar like Johnny Ramone, it takes a huge amount of physical effort.

The French were always masters at mid-range. And I like the attitude.

Oftentimes, when people cut a record from analog tape to vinyl, they digitize the music first; I did a little investigating and discovered that most vinyl records that I've ever heard were digitized before they were put onto vinyl.

The very nature of limiting something from an infinite to moments in time creates distortion; analog recording methods create all kinds of distortion, they're just not digital distortion.

You wind up listening to one song that you really like 30 times on YouTube and then you're done with it. That's the way it is.

Most people just give up with time and go, "I'm a victim." The only reason I've got the reputation for delays and spending a long time on things is because I just don't stop.

I wasn't making music for the sake of music but rather making music in the context of other music. At the same time, it doesn't mean I'm not going to try and do that some day.
