I don't cook - I can cook - but I'm not very good. I like being asked over for dinner, because she can't cook either. We would starve if it weren't for modern technology. I know how to work a microwave, but love home cooked meals.

To me I think artists in general make a statement - and for the rest of their lives - every album, every book - are variations on a theme.

With vinyl you had twenty-two minutes per side. CDs came along, and you had sixty, seventy, eighty minutes and people felt like they had to fill them up. They were like those Fuji apples from Japan. They look like perfect, super-gigantic versions of American apples.

Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

I really appreciate anyone trying to inject art into mainstream film.

Technology has taken its toll on albums in a tough way. The CD format and MTV really played havoc on artists.
