"To me, the best thing a record can have are songs that feel genuine for a compelling artist. The gear is enormously important, as is the arrangement and the players themselves, but without the match of a strong artist with strong songs, nothing sounds good. How many horrible records have been made at the world's best studios? The hardest lesson for me has been to remain objective. I advise against working brutal hours in the studio. The longer you work on a piece of music, the less chance you have of listening the way someone will hear it the first time."
