The only way you can sell 10 million Britney Spears records is to convince kids that it's something they need to have as part of their identity. It's not about the music at that point.
I don't really feel like you're making a record unless you pay attention to it.
When you listen to most of the records that really had an impact on you, they always seem to be from a different era.
I always listen to records that I've been a part of with a grain of salt.
I still have a lot of faith that there's very few people who are savvy enough to actually produce a good sounding copy of the record.
For the most part I stand by all of records. I just always like the one I've done most recently the best and I think that's the whole point.
