In Cities Like New York And Austin,

Everyone Should Be Encouraged...in Spiration And Artistic Freedom Is The Cornerstone Of Rock And Roll.

I Want To Get Lean And Mean, Keep It Minimalist.

I'm Writing A Movie About Mozart Going To New York In The '60s. I've Been Reading So Many Novels.

I'm Content With Making Records, But I Don't Want To Be Doing The Same Thing All The Time.

I Write In The Studio, I Don't Sit Around With A Piano Or A Guitar And Write Songs. I Get Satisfaction Out Of That Because I Can Finish The Song Really Quickly. I Can Use Whatever Momentum I Have. I've Got To Put It Down, Develop It, And Get It As Far [as I Can], Because The Excitement Of The Moment Of When You Get That Idea - You Want To Try And Hold It And Build On It And Really Gain Strength From It. Being In The Studio And Writing Songs Like That Is Really The Best Way.
