We talk about globalization today as if it's some great big new thing, that we've all just discovered. But there's really nothing new about it.
The great thing about vinyl is that if you wanted to get a decent-sounding cut, you could really only have 20 minutes max on each side.
That's the great thing about music. You can find some '60s pop record and feel completely invigorated by it, even though it's so old.
I didn't want to fall into the trap of competing with all these other great guitar players. I just want to sidestep the whole thing and get out of the race.

I don't like to be negative about math because it really teaches you a lot of great things. You kind of use math every day.
The thing I respond to the most is just great writing, interesting characters. I like to think that there is something fun about playing a character that has a lot of authority in her own life.
