I Tend To Name Albums After One

A Grammy Is Really Nice, But Having Lots Of Fans Is Really Nice, Too. I Think Just Getting A Record Out Is A Success On Its Own.

When I'm Writing With Just An Acoustic Guitar, It Can Be For Anyone.

A Lot Of Musicians Are Super - Insecure And They Take Forever And They Obsess Over The Minutia And It's Really Stifling. It's Not That The Band The Black Keys Is That Confident, It's That We're Not Striving For Perfection. We Are Just Trying To Have Fun. None Of The Music That We Like Is Perfect. It's Good. And Real. We Just Want To Make Real Records, Flaws And All.

I Feel Like I Live In My Own Little World, To Be Honest. I Mean, I Love My Record, But I Don't Feel Tied To It. I Sort Of Created My Own Little Universe In The Studio, And That's Why All Of Those Musicians Who Made A Living In The Nashville Music Scene Loved Coming Over To My Place So Much.
