In L.A., I live right across from Universal Studios.
It's different playing in a studio than it is playing live, of course.
I am always locked in my design studio.
The studios don't finance anymore, they get outside funds.
I do love being in my studio. Especially at night.
You knew everybody at all the studios and you saw them often.
If you look at successful studios, they're the ones with stabilized management.
I'm a big believer of daylight in the studio.
If I wasn't the head of a studio, who would talk to me?
Just writing and being in the studio was like therapy for me.
Nowadays, I really like playing in studios.
On Eye of the Zombie, I had so-called studio musicians.
I spend a lot of time working in the studio as a producer, not just a singer.
The challenges I face in the studio pale in comparison to when I'm out in nature.
I would love to have been around in the Keystone Studios days.
Secondarily, I think films that are driven by music also terrify studios.
And if I had a preference, it would be to be able to not be in the studio until 4 in the morning.
I don't like to deal with studios.
With studio work, I'm always the bottom man on the totem pole.
Thank God for small movies and filmmakers who can make movies for not $8 million. Thank God for $8,000 movies.
My motto: 'No good movie is depressing. All bad movies are depressing.'
