These days I think people give up too easily. Everyone says it’s about compromise, which it is. Love, compromise, promises, presents help. But ultimately it’s about not giving up. People are led to believe that if it’s not perfect then just ditch it and change it, these days. That’s a mistake.

I think it's important when you make a record that you know you're working with the people who are going to get the best out of you.

Sad news- Prince is gone. Music has lost a great presence. A world less funky. I don't believe in it.

I feel sorry for the '90s, because it was never able to be anything much more than the hangover to the party that was the '80s.

You've got to make sure that you make the best of the day that you're in.

Ambition is a funny thing. You can completely screw yourself with it if you're not careful.

There's no question that a vinyl record is a lot nicer than a CD. It's nicer to hold in your hands, you can do more with it.
