#making

I'm compelled to paint nearly every day. I just felt like making a painting, went out and bought paints and a canvas. Now it fulfills me creatively when I'm not doing music: it's something you can do by yourself and it's totally yours. It's a great adjunct to my life. ↗

You know, when you're making a record, you come up with 15, 20 songs. Then they start to fall by the wayside as your interest wanes. It's kind of like a process of elimination to determine which songs wind up on the record. ↗

Well, I was making a record, and I had to choose a name, because they said, you know, you can't make a record under the name of Reg Dwight, because it's never going to - you know, it's not attractive enough. ↗

I only know from my own personal experience, and I personally feel that there's a cyclical nature to things, so you don't want to start making generalizations about how bad things have become in comparison to the old days. ↗

A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music. ↗

For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration. ↗

I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time. ↗

Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes. ↗
