“Beck is obviously a consummate musician. He plays instruments, many instruments. He can make his own record without having a fleet of computer operators onboard.”

“I wish I wrote songs like Donald Fagen, Walter Becker, Don Henley, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, so many of the songwriters I admire. They have the ability to say things.”

“When I listen to songs, to this day, I listen to the chords and the groove and the melody.”

“The first time I ever heard professional actors delivering lines that I wrote was completely surreal and was just a gigantic moment in my life. It was just a little bit mind-blowing and completely strange to have something that had been on my computer being said out loud.”

“When you are talking about transportation, people aren't making their plans while in front of a computer.”

“The computer is very good for me; I can magnify my work very easily.”
