A lot of the great songwriters in history have been collaborators, with a separate lyricist. ↗

Elektra has no control over the live show, at least. ↗

I agree with the rest of the band, that a truly synthesized sound isn't really what I would want to go for. ↗

I feel like I want to write some songs and I don't know how to go about doing it. Usually it's the lyrics that are a problem, and I think I am not really cut out to be a lyricist. ↗

I haven't written enough songs to be able to say that I have a system. I've only written a handful. ↗

I want to get an handful of spare basses to use first of all if mine breaks, and second, to learn some things about aspects of basses that I like, so Paul can build those aspects into it. ↗

I'm always interested in mixing technology and music. You know, maybe I'll have a MIDI bass pickup at some point, I don't really think that's the direction I would want to go. ↗

I'm not really satisfied with anything I have written to date. ↗

If part of the purpose of making an album is to get some radio play, then you might as well think about that. But that's not really how we picked the songs. ↗

It's really important for the bass and the drums to somehow blend. ↗
