I consider that if I have a purpose it's not to produce records or concerts , it's in the process of perceiving more. Since my sepecialty is music, that perceiving takes the form of sound.

As I become older it has become increasingly clear that we are enclosed by the culture we live in. It is vital to understand that, just so you can find the space to do as much as you can of what you want to do.

I’m not against people buying my records or me being rich. I’d love to be a billionaire shipping tycoon! But I have to do what I believe in. I would rather I like my music and people hate it, than for them to like it and me hate it.

I try to get the young musicians, because they got it; they got a lot of ideas, they got a lot of wild ideas, they got a lot of energy. What you have to do is trade off with your experience and their energies, and fair exchange is not robbery. You show 'em which way to channel their energies and how to present themselves.
