You Can't Write If You

Especially In Music, You Wonder, Okay, Should I Still Be Doing This? Like, Are You Overstaying Your Welcome At The Party? But I Don't Know.

I've Done So Many Albums Where I've Been In The Studio For 14 Hours A Day For Six Months Just Trying To Come Up With Things On My Own. It's A Nice Change Helping Other People With Their Music And Not Being All About What I'm Trying To Do Myself.

I Try Not To Do Email; I Try To Talk To People On The Phone.

Sometimes Things In Life Take A Few Years To Digest, And They Find Their Way Into The Work Later On. Sometimes I'm Writing About Things From Eight Years Ago-they Just Took A Long Time To Distill And Come Out In The Appropriate Way.

It Was Disturbing To Me That An Idea Or A Song Could Become Something So Different From What You Originally Intended. It's Like If A Friend Took A Stupid Picture Of You At A Party On Their Phone, And The Next Thing You Knew, It Was On Every Billboard.
