What you want is for music to love you back. That's why you pay your dues. You want to feel like you belong and are part of this symbiosis, metamorphosis, whatever you want to call it.

Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.

You know what I really love? The CD players in a car. How when you put the CD right up by the slot, it actually takes it out of your hand, like it's hungry. It pulls it in, and you feel like it wants more silver discs.

But surely for everything you have to love you have to pay some price.

If you don't like it, learn to love it!

You shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh.
