Making love to robots will probably be great one day. It's just not a viable option right now.

Analog was perfected over 70 years, though. Digital will one day be fantastic. I'm sure of it.

There's nothing like space and the ability to make unlimited amounts of noise at any time, especially in San Francisco.

The world is just going to continue to fragment, and that's a great thing.

As a studio, you have to have a niche. You have to provide a service and there has to be a reason for your being around.

Bands will always need studios. The more people there are recording at home, the more people there will be who are going to need a studio.

I'm a collector, a tinkerer, and a tweaker, like a lot of people, and recording equipment is really easy to fetishize.

In fact, it's in my interest to love digital recording, and I just spent a ton on a new digital recording system, so I speak from a place of heavy investment in both sides.

There is definitely a nostalgia, and I am very sentimental, so I don't begrudge people for having sentimental feelings towards vinyl.

What you see is highly dependent on how you look.

There is a difference between civil partnerships and marriage. That difference does not mean one is better than another.

Problems cannot be solved by thinking within the framework in which the problems were created.

I do a real analysis of who actually owns things - it’s the British…the Dutch…then it’s the Arabs…then it’s the French…then it’s the Jews…and then, on down the line.

When I moved to New York in my 20s, I didn't have an obnoxious ego, but it was huge! I'll thought, "I'll never die and I can do anything."

Enthusiasm, like the breath of God, transforms everything.

As I get older, personal happiness is all about love. It's all about love.

In our business, just getting to 40 means something...that's why I think sometimes you have to just live in the moment. You have to enjoy life to its fullest.

Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts.

I hope we have American-topias.
