I personally believe that the iPod is a frankly corrosive device because it encourages you to surround yourself with your favorites. The whole idea of a playlist is to surround yourself with your favorite things, and the interesting thing is that when you do that, they cease to be your favorites.
My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis.
As you get older, you sometimes feel that it's harder and harder to get something new and wonderful to come into your life.
