One often makes music to supplement one's world.
I've noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it's far enough in the future.
I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they're happy if the...
