I Didn't Want To Do

It Gets A Little Bit Troublesome When You Have Something That's Overcompressed That Shouldn't Be.

Two Men Look Out The Same Prison Bars; One Sees Mud And The Other Stars.

Maybe Certain Aspects Of What I Was Doing Were Reacting Against What Was Happening Or What People Said, Too. That's Something That Happens When You're Starting Out. After Some Time Goes By And You Get A Little Perspective, You Realize That You Don't Need To React. You Can Just Carry On With What You're Doing. That Took Me A Long Time Figure Out; I've Only Gotten To That Point In The Last Five Or 10 Years.

There's A Perception That If An Artist Produces Another Artist, They're Going To Imprint On Them. But I'm The Opposite. I Want To Hear That Artist; I Don't Want To Hear Me - That's The Last Thing I Want To Hear. There Are A Lot Of Technical Studio Things I've Learned Or Figured Out, And I Feel Like I Could Use Those Things To Help Other People With What They're Doing.

The Years Keep Going By And You Realize, Wow. Doing These Records Is Such A Process: Going On Tour For A Year And A Half, Then You Get Home And You Want To Do Other Things.
