I got it into my head that I had somewhat neglected the guitar, and then I did a record called 'Arena,' and it was not a particularly bad record - it wasn't a bad record at all, but it was built around a certain concept, which is a guitar quartet, with a little bit of augmentation here and there.

I play the guitar a little bit.

'Something/Anything?' was kind of a different record, since I'm playing everything myself. A lot of the songs on there have a particular kind of instrumentation that is much like a guitar quartet, and in some ways, it's an exceptional song on that record because so much of the writing on 'Something/Anything?' is piano-oriented.

Datelines are kind of an anachronism. It's a little bit of an affectation.

Around mid-life everyone goes maniac a little bit.

The chips are in production, the machines aren't. So we've got a little bit of work left to do.
