Your reputation is what influences people to think, feel and talk about you the way they do.

If we spent as much time feeling positive about getting older, as we do trying to stay young, how much different our lives would be.

Your reputation is what influences people to think, feel and talk about you the way they do.

When you work on a computer in the studio, it's almost like fossilizing on the spot, you know, the idea of getting solidified on the spot, like a snowflake might create branches by accumulation.

I wouldn't judge people on their instant responses.

You can get the oldest drum machine out and whack out four sounds like a kick, snare, and two types of high-hat, and try and come up with the freshest thing on the spot. The gear can guide you - you can choose one bit of gear and it's obviously got its restrictions and its limitations, but at the same time, you've got to exploit what it's capable of and what it's best used for.

To me, an untrained ear, a young person at the time, I would hear off the different feels, all these different sounds, and then years later realize that everyone had used the same equipment, just to their own ends.
