In Japan, you get on the bullet train or the airplane, and I loved the little speeches the stewardesses would do. They even do little speeches before you play gigs.

Art is the child of Nature yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, her aspect and her attitude.

For the records I've work on over the last 10 years, I get sent the really compressed version and the non-compressed version, and oftentimes you end up going with the more compressed one because it's what people's ears are attuned to. I think the bigger problem is saturation and people being desensitized.

I don't remember half of the new bands, though - and I think that's kind of where we're going. It's turning into just a big derby of songs. May the best song win.

When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.

I think my whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche.

I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.

Back then, Pro Tools only had four or eight tracks, so we couldn't actually hear all the tracks. We could only hear eight at a time, so if a song had 25 or 30 tracks, we wouldn't be able to hear it until we went into the studio an put it all on tape. The process was a little bit backwards.

Somebody else is satisfied by five Bentleys. I'm satisfied by a beautiful string arrangement.

I didn't even have a computer until like 10 years ago. I was still using a typewriter until 2002.

I did that Grammys thing - I did a little freeform poem.

I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded.

It was disturbing to me that an idea or a song could become something so different from what you originally intended. It's like if a friend took a stupid picture of you at a party on their phone, and the next thing you knew, it was on every billboard.

Sea Change was so specific. From the beginning it was set what it was going to be. All the other ideas that I had at the time I had to put to the side.

I didn't want to do something typical.

I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.

Originally, the lyrics to Girl were really upbeat, and then it didn't work for me somehow. You need the dichotomy. If you're doing something happy and light, you need the shadows.

I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.

I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose.

Especially in music, you wonder, Okay, should I still be doing this? Like, are you overstaying your welcome at the party? But I don't know.
