I'm recording another demo for another batch of record labels that we'll shop it around to.
For each man produced by heaven, earth provides a grave.
Love has produced some heroes but many idiots too.
Love has produced some heroes but even more idiots.
When the first record came out, I'd go down to radio stations pretty much every day to get the record played, and I would walk in and they'd tell us how much they loved the record, but they weren't sure how much they could play it because they were a...
I really like the last three Luna records a whole lot, especially 'Penthouse.' I think of all the records I've done, that's my favorite. I don't know why, really. I don't know why some records turn out better than others. It's not a science.
I think when you're 17 and you're angry, you're angry about very short-term things. And there's nothing wrong about writing that record. It's a very real record to write; it's the realest record I could write when I was 17. The problem is, when you'r...
I don't like to produce albums. I hate producing albums, as a matter of fact, because I'm an obsessed mixer and I can't leave it alone.

I don't believe in the philosophy of stumbling across hit records.
If you're part of a record company, you're a manufactured product. It doesn't mean that you're not talented.
My father's record collection was all country. That's how I was exposed to it.
A record deal doesn't make you an artist; you make yourself an artist.
Every country I've had different hit records, so we have to change the set to fit the country.
I bring a record home, and it connects with me like nothing else. In my ideal situation, somebody will do that with my record.
I am such a gearhead. In my recording studio, I personally engineer and edit everything on computers.
But I think the record will actually come from tapes that are not yet recorded.
