Something has to happen between you and the public, some interface that lets the public in on what you're doing.

Musicians are not so concerned with language.

Needless to say, you've got to have someone who can speak for you.

I have to think that somewhere on some little island in the Pacific, there's someone's who's great, but I'm probably never going to hear him.

Most folks, when they see movies or hear records, need something that they find pulls them in, draws them in, and appeals to them beyond just the notes. For a record to be memorable and great, it has to have something of this quality. Exactly what that is, I don't know, but I think it has something to do with an atmosphere, an environment that is appealing and attractive. And the people that inhabit this environment have... almost a message for the rest of the world.

Musicians communicate in other ways. That's just something you rely on.
