Memory belongs to the imagination. Human memory is not like a computer which records things; it is part of the imaginative process, on the same terms as invention.

The "Highway 61" album [of Bob Dylan] was produced by Bob Johnston if I'm not incorrect. And Bob Johnston was an entirely different producer than Tom Wilson. Tom Wilson had produced jazz records and was a Harvard educated.

I think it was Columbia politics, Columbia Records politics that, that, Tom Wilson left [Bob Dylan] after "Like A Rolling Stone".

Not only my favorite producers, but those are actually brothers, they're part of our We The Best family. To me, they're the biggest guys out, and the music they produce and the records they put out are phenomenal records.

I wanted to break the record, of course, and become the youngest person to sail around the world solo and unassisted.

I'd like to think that throughout my career whatever my current record is has 110% of my best.

My main concern is making the connection with my listeners and making records that the whole world can sing. That's what makes me happy.

The romantic stuff comes a lot easier when you're experiencing true love. It feels better, it feels more natural to record love songs when you're in love.

I have a huge record and cd collection of all kinds of great classical, jazz and all music but I find the internet very accessible and quick.

I was always concerned with making cool-sounding rock records.
