Quotes

• “I much prefer making music to talking about it. There's something visceral about instruments and voices that transcends words.”
• “Sounds are indeed like colors, and my hunger for a truer palette of colors grows day to day.”
• “I am apt to hire musicians sometimes because I know they will have some good jokes to tell.”
• “That's what music is about, and those are the types of experiences I value most in looking for the visceral and unidentifiable thing it is that makes music music, and not something else.”
• “We were recording a song called "I Don't Ever Want To Be Without You." The same Christian record company radio guy called me and asked me if we could change the song's title and lyrics. when I asked why, he said, "Because there are two negative words in the title-don't and without … I'd like some positive ones; can you call the song, 'I Always Want To Be With You?"'”
• “It's terribly demeaning to write something that tells its story in its own way and be told it fails because it might scare somebody. My God, must we speak with all the candor of a wax Elvis?”
