The summer of 1991, I took $2,000 of my savings and a desktop program, and I asked my friends to write 800 words about something they cared about. I got eight or nine articles and put them together.

Whomever you're going to interview, you have to be interested in what it is you want to know from them. You have to be interested in the subject. ↗

Relationships are so much a rerun of our parental relationships. We're rerunning the relationship they were in together and we're rerunning the relationship we had with them with our lover. ↗

And the thing that I always tried to do with important singers when I met them was to sit down and record everything they knew, give them a first real run-through of their art. ↗
