• Aunque los acordes sean sencillos, deben rozar. Deben tener disonancias. Siempre he utilizado muchas líneas de bajo alternativas, suspensiones, voicings muy espaciados. Diferentes texturas para conseguir acordes muy cálidos. A veces, colocas acordes extraños delante de un acorde que va a resaltar como un diamante en un anillo de oro. No es sólo encontrar acordes interesantes, es cómo los secuencias, como ensartar perlas en un hilo. ... Los acordes interesantes crean melodías interesantes. Es muy difícil escribir una melodía aburrida para una secuencia de acordes interesante.

• Hoy en día ya no se escucha música country en la radio. Pero durante un tiempo sí se escuchaba, y era estupendo que todos los géneros musicales cohabitaran en los 40 Principales: el sonido folk, los Beatles, el sonido británico, los sonidos Motown, ese tipo de country ligero... era un alivio después de unos cuantos discos de rock duro. Todo el mundo compartía las ondas y creo que fue una época maravillosa para la música estadounidense.
