I Didn't Want To Do Something Typical.

It's Hard To Make Music Knowing That It's Not Going To Be Received By The Listener In The Way That It Should Be.

Back Then, Pro Tools Only Had Four Or Eight Tracks, So We Couldn't Actually Hear All The Tracks. We Could Only Hear Eight At A Time, So If A Song Had 25 Or 30 Tracks, We Wouldn't Be Able To Hear It Until We Went Into The Studio An Put It All On Tape. The Process Was A Little Bit Backwards.

There Are People Who've Prepared Their Whole Lives For Real Heavy Success And Bask In It. They're So Good At It And They Obviously Love It. I'm Just Happy To Be Making A Record.

I Think I Gave Indications Early On That Mine Wasn't Just Going To Be A Commercial, Er, Career. If That Were The Case, Then The First Record Would Have Been 10 Versions Of 'loser.' I Always Thought It Would Be Interesting If There Was No Such Thing As Gold And Platinum Records, Or Record Deals, And People Were Just Making Music. What Would The Music Sound Like?

Sometimes, Reissues Can Be Revelatory, Or Put The Original Record In A Different Light, But Those Are Rare.
