The greatest records in the world were made without going to Auto-tune or Pro Tools, or having some click track. If they could do it, why can't we? Something's been lost in music. It's all been over-produced, squashed down, totally compressed.

I have a tendency to sabotage relationships; I have a tendency to sabotage everything. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of being afraid. Useless, good-for-nothing thoughts.

A lot changed the moment I had kids; I had no idea of the perspective it would give me. It made making the right decisions a lot easier.

I always felt it was weird, that retro thing where guys showed up in zoot suits and tried to talk as if they were from some other time.

Perspective has allowed me to rekindle my love of music.
