I've Personally Reached The Point Where The

I Didn't Want To Be On A Major Label. I Wanted All The Attention And The Noise To Go Away Because I Wanted To Be Something A Little Bit More Substantial.

Maybe Certain Aspects Of What I Was Doing Were Reacting Against What Was Happening Or What People Said, Too. That's Something That Happens When You're Starting Out. After Some Time Goes By And You Get A Little Perspective, You Realize That You Don't Need To React. You Can Just Carry On With What You're Doing. That Took Me A Long Time Figure Out; I've Only Gotten To That Point In The Last Five Or 10 Years.

Especially In Music, You Wonder, Okay, Should I Still Be Doing This? Like, Are You Overstaying Your Welcome At The Party? But I Don't Know.

I'm Always Looking For Older Equipment And Ways Of Recording, But You Can't Escape The Fact That It's All Going To Be Digitized And Reduced.

There's Some Quality You Get When You're Not Totally Comfortable.
