If you wanna write a song, ask a guitar

If you want to get lost in the jungle rhythm, get down on the ground and pretend you're swimming.

I do one take; I never overdubbed twice. I know there's stuff that isn't perfect, but it doesn't matter: Nothing is perfect, and there is a magic there that is undeniable because of the fact that we don't care about those things.

That's a defining moment, there, when someone plays an instrument that everyone relates to around the planet.

Without freedom of expression, good taste means nothing.

I like to go in right away as soon as I have things.

And as an afterthought, this too must be told: Some people have taken pure bullshit and turned it into gold.
