I Didn't Want To Do Something Typical.

There's Some Quality You Get When You're Not Totally Comfortable. When You're Not Doing What You're Used To, You Could Completely Fall On Your Face. You Could Completely Blow It.

With My Own Music, I Try To Get Away From Things That Are Familiar And Things That Would Be Easy For Me To Go To.

I Know My Own Limitations. And If Somebody Says, "i Need Songs For A Cartoon Garage Band - They Look Like This And They Should Sound Like This," It Gives You A Direction. I Like Having That Kind Of Assignment.

Every Time You Go In, It's Like Starting Over. You Don't Know How You Did The Other Records. You're Learning All Over. It's Some Weird Musician Amnesia, Or Maybe The Road Wipes It Out.

I've Personally Reached The Point Where The Sound Of Mp3s Are So Uncompelling, Because So Much Is Lost In Translation.
