I think the focus of the media changes. At the moment the more electronic stuff like trip-hop was the flavor of the month, just a little while ago. It all depends on the angle, from which point of view you see it.

I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.

We care if people like what we did. If you're just making records for yourself, why put them out and do all these interviews and do touring? I'm a huge music fan, and this is what I do with my artistic time. It's all I really do, except hang out with my family. I value human relationships, and it's a way for me to interact with the world and feel like I'm part of something.

I don't really know where the songs are coming from often. Many of the best things I made up were just off the top of my head.

I'm just kind of a hippie. Age is not that relevant to the music.

If someone's really busy listening to other CDs, and worried about what's new and what's truly relevant for discourse now, maybe it isn't that interesting. To me it is, because I'm tuned into that and that's what I like, so it's interesting to me. It's all I can do.

That's why you go to a nice studio. You can get a magic take. You don't really have to do anything to it.
