Beck Quote: “I’m always working on my own music, too. I’ve been working on a record for a few years.”

Beck Quote: “These spider webs are my home now.”
Beck Quote: “I remember you would record a guitar part, and we would have to sit there for 15 or 20 minutes waiting for the computer to process it. You’d see the little wheel spinning on the computer, and you’d be praying that the hard drive didn’t crash and you didn’t lose the performance.”
Beck Quote: “It was disturbing to me that an idea or a song could become something so different from what you originally intended. It’s like if a friend took a stupid picture of you at a party on their phone, and the next thing you knew, it was on every billboard.”
Beck Quote: “I try not to do email; I try to talk to people on the phone.”

Beck Quote: “I enjoy recording live better, but I think by the nature of it you are going to end up with something that’s a little bit more traditional.”
