I can sell modest numbers, have fun and make good music, and still be successful.
The whole glorification of opulence and gluttony... it's just sickening to me.
Sometimes a spotlight can remind me of the lights above the operating table.
If you believe a good review, then you have to believe the bad one.
For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way that I like to make songs that have something classic about them whether you can play them with an orchestra or an electro synthesizer or an acoustic guitar.
I did a smaller gig with an acoustic guitar and a drum machine. In one song, something wrong happened with the drum machine. I tried to cover up the mistake by playing faster and improvising a new song but it became crazy, and I had to admit it was all a mess.
I tend to write on an acoustic guitar or the piano. I have kind of a rule: if I can't sit down and play this and get the song over, I don't take it to the band, because most any good song, you can sit down and deliver it with a piano or a guitar.
It's hard for me to use any electronic sounds at all, really. I'm always just layering acoustic sounds.
