Quote

You know, a song is like a kid. You bring it up. And sometimes something you thought was going to be fantastic, by the time it's finished, is a bit of a disappointment...Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

I suppose you can't take kids into consideration all the time, but I just wish there could be a bit of flexibility.
