I Love Walking Down The Street And

There's More To Light Than The Opposite Of Dark.

Once They're On Paper, They're Gone. I Like To Do As Much With The Words, As Far As Image Goes, So That It's Really Left Open For A Lot Of Things, Even Though I Remember A Specific Impression Of Something I Had At The Time.

There's Nothing I Can Do About It Anymore

I Think I Understand What Bands Want, Just From Having Made Records Myself. I Understand What It Takes To Get A Good Vocal Sound, Or To Make People Comfortable In The Studio. From Minor Things Like Their Headphone Mix - And If A Singer's Singing, How They Should Hear Themselves - To How To Make People Feel That They're Getting Exactly What They Want. All Those Things, I Think, Are An Advantage, Especially The Part About Having Done It Myself. I'm Not Just An Engineer Who Records The Sounds Well. I'm Not Afraid To Take Chances.

I've Been In A Band, So I Understand The Politics. Sometimes The Bass Player Doesn't Like What The Guitar Player Is Doing, And You Have To Sort Of Even That Out. But I've Also Always Loved The Technology Part Of It. I've Always Loved The Studio Part. Making Albums. Besides Writing Songs, Which Has Been My Primary Thing, Making Records Would Be Second. Obviously, Touring Would Be Third. Touring Wasn't My Favorite Thing To Do, But The First Few Tours Were Pretty Fun. Seeing The World And Everything.
