I like to make records sound good. I'm more like a reducer than a producer. If an artist cannot produce themselves, what's the point? ↗

An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc. ↗

An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language. ↗

I've come to understand my role. On some level, I provide the context for them to shine. I also know my role is the steward of the songs, and the center point, the artist that the stuff all revolves around. But I really try to honor that. ↗

The artist produces for the liberation of his soul. It is his nature to create as it is the nature of water to run down the hill. ↗

Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record. ↗
