Neil Young Is My Hero.

The Fact That I'm Virtually Deaf. Any Woman Who's Going To Date A Rock Musician Has To Be Prepared To Repeat Herself Every 10 Seconds. My Wife Asks Me Where We Should Go For Dinner And It Sounds Like The Schoolteacher From Charlie Brown.

Most People Don't Take Some Things Into Consideration. When They Hear An Album, They Hear The Artist Or They Hear The Lyric Or They Hear The Melody. But They Don't Really Think About The Environment In Which It Was Recorded, Which Is So Important. It's That Thing That Determines What The Album Sounds Like.

I Had Long Hair Since I Was 17 Years Old. It Was Time For Me To Let Go. I Hated Being The Guy At The Wedding In A Suit With A Ponytail.

Whenever I Say I Made A Record In The Garage, People Just Assume That I Have, Like, A Lear Jet Parked In There Or Something. But Really There's Old Luggage, A Couple Of Bikes. It's Big Enough To Put One Minivan In. That's It. No Dartboard. I'm So Not Macho.

A Place Like Sound City, Which Was Just A Big, Beautiful Room Where You Would Hit Record And Capture The Sound Of The Performer - A Place Like That Isn't Necessarily In Demand Anymore.
