I've seen a study in the last year that digital sound actually induces stress in the listener.

The more perfect music we have, the more attractive the peculiarities and anomalies of human performance become. Perfection is a second rate idea.

Everything around a writer, or musician in the record business, probably everything in all the United States or in all of western civilization, is about competition.

The record business is dangerous to the health of bands and individuals, which is something I'm just now learning. But it's not dangerous in any of the ways people think; it's not that they try to make you compromise your art. That's not the problem.

My advice for young people is that, if you want to be a musician, the thing to do is practice eight hours a day.
