It's always interesting to me that we all hear music differently. It's an awesome experience to hear what other people hear.

The record is definitely a musical journey. It's kind of all over the place, which I like.

I got it: stay away from cocaine and heroin.

You never know what's going to happen sometimes, or what you think's going to happen never happens, or when you least expect it, the Santana record comes along and just blows up.

Obviously, I'm a little more responsible these days.

Sometimes when you cut your bed tracks right off the bat, you don't really know where the vocal is landing and where the background vocals are, and other loops and stuff that are going on.

You know what the most destructive force in the universe is? Regret.
