Recording 'Tusk' was quite absurd. The studio contract rider for refreshments was like a telephone directory.

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.

I'm portable. I carry a laptop and a little recording studio on my back.

The whole thing was quite absurd,

I couldn't go anywhere unless there was a security guard with me. That spoiled my life. It was like being in captivity. Those days are gone, and I don't ever want to see that happen to me again. Now I can wander around the streets of Los Angeles on my own. I like it that way.

My job of being a musician in a recording studio has nothing to do with being a musician being on tour performing.
