I'm not really a technophile. But it's just nice to be asked to be involved in something that's new and cutting edge.

It's pretty amazing to see the devastation. The people here are so strong and amazing.

It was like every day, a different demon would reappear. There were terrible memories there. I drove by the house I grew up in. They took my mother away in an ambulance and she died in front of that house. I drove by the church where I had to go and eat at the soup kitchen because I was out on the street at 16.

It's not as much about sales as it is about how you feel doing it. If I start hating doing this and it makes me miserable, I won't do it anymore. This is not our last record. The way I'm feeling about everything, I could go back and do another album.
