“When I write a song, I always start on acoustic guitar, because that's a good test of a song, when it's really open and bare. You can often mislead yourself if you start with computers and samples and programming because you can disguise a bad song.”

“Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.”

“I use the computers to maximize my efficiency and establish a baseline for my swing, but once I'm on the course, I don't think about any of that. I just play.”
