I have a great time with my band and on the stage we get along well.

I honestly don't remember how I wrote or did the songs. Or the sessions. They all become very much a blur. And each album is like that. It may be that there are different locations, it may take longer, shorter, or whatever, but it's always something that just happened.

I just feel so good it feels like a very creative time for me. As far as my mind, spirit, and body, I've never felt better.

You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.

Music, for me, is completely self-indulgent. I write it, I play the instruments, I arrange it, I produce it. It's all about me - as it should be.

Music definitely inspires my design all the time.

I found it a really refreshing change of pace to suddenly be completely directed. It was a type of collaboration that I don't normally have.

At 10 o'clock in the morning I'd go right in the studio. It feels good to be there in the morning before the day starts to mess with you - I don't mean in a negative way, but before I'd speak to a lot of people or get into anything, I'd go in there and just see what I felt. A lot happens in the morning for me in the studio.

I'm experiencing the mood to go out and share the music. I don't look at these concerts as a platform for people to watch me, look at me. No, a tour is about an interaction. A thing, myself, a band, and the people who support what I do and enjoy what I do.

Every night is different, you never know what it's going to be like. I remember every night. I don't like to compare them.

If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.

One musician listens to another musician, and you get inspired and then you do your thing, but it's yours.

We've always just gotten up there and played. We don't have any dancers, we don't have all that stuff going on, we just get up there and play.

You've got your entourage and people that help you make whatever happen around you. Everything's crazy and you're not paying attention to your inner feelings because you're so busy. I couldn't take it.

I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless.

There's nothing more that we love than having a close, personal, open relationship, and I believe that's what God wants.

I just live my life and try to be present.

I mean, look at the people we celebrate - a lot of people who really don't do anything. They just walk the red carpets and go to all the parties, and they're hooked up with the right people, so they're celebrities. But what for?

Tape machines are effects boxes as well because each tape machine has its own sound. You can over-load a tape machine or you can bump it a certain way so it compresses or makes a sound, tape saturation.
