If I Had A Philosophy, It's That

Sometimes, When I Have A Lot Of Ideas And I Want To Do A Lot Of Things, Or When I'm Traveling, I Lose Energy And I Can't Do As Many Things As I Want. So I Have To Plan Days When I'm Not Doing Anything. I Find That A Bit Boring, But It's Necessary.

When I Met Apple, I Made It Very Clear That I Am An Old Punk And I Have Never Done Commercials Or Been Sponsored. And I Wasn't After Their Money.

I've Written Arrangements For Choirs And Strings In The Past, But I Usually Write Music With My Voice Or A Keyboard And Then I'll Get Someone Who Is Good At Writing Scores To Write It Out. Or, If I Have The Luxury Of Time, I Will Go In A Room And Hear The People Perform And Then Change It Through What I Hear, Not On Paper. I Can Read Music Ok, But I Probably Rebelled A Little - Music Changes Into Something Else When You Read It.

Over The Last 10 Years, There Have Been So Many Incredible Albums Created In Bedrooms By People Who Never Would've Gotten An Album Deal.

I'm Not Very Good At Doing Two Things At The Same Time. I've Never Been Good At The Walk And Bubblegum Thing. I've Been Doing This 16 Hours A Day. I Haven't Had A Day Off. But It's Very Exciting, Too, Just To Meet All These People Doing Really Fertile Stuff. It's Sort Of Where I Come From Anyway, Hanging Out With People Who Believe In Something Incredible.
