I don't hear any of the popular stuff unless it's good 'cause I pay no attention to popular culture, at all.
Risk is what separates the artist from the artisan.
It's also ironic that in the old days of tape and tape hiss and vinyl records and surface noise, we were always trying to get records louder and louder to overcome that.
My original idea was to produce and not make records myself.
I figured out early on what I wanted to do.
I don't want to make music for people who don't care about music.
