I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s.

I'm definitely obsessed about artists and the type of music and the playing and the tone and all that kind of thing - I'm not obsessed about what the best Beatles album is. I just think if The Beatles are great, they're great.

Young people can listen to music at any moment in the day or night. Which is great, but I think it kind of devalues it as well. They don't feel the need to own it. They certainly don't feel the need to pay for it. I'd have to save up for weeks to buy an album when I was a kid, and that made it even more great for me when I finally got that thing in my hand.

Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.

There have been records I've been really, really pleased with that haven't connected with people. But I felt good about them.

In my world [of fashion] there's more things that kind of affect it. There's the retailers we do business with, our own stores, my merchandising team... Everybody has opinions, and so you definitely have to filter through a lot.

I still want to do what I want to do, but we also have to think about some sense of protecting the business that's out there as well.
