“Video killed the radio star.”

“My job is to make a record that you're going to want to listen to a hundred times.”

“The way I produce is that I look for the best ideas and I push them and I don't stop until I'm happy.”

“I'm not a musician, I'm a producer. I don't play anything.”

“I was always fascinated by technology and I was always fascinated by how to use it to make new sounds.”

“The problem with most producers is that they're musicians, and they want to be on the record.”

“For me, the song is everything. If you haven't got a good song, you can have the best production in the world and it won't make a difference.”

“Pop music is a great place to be, because it’s a place where you can be very adventurous.”

“The '80s were a great time for music because technology was changing everything.”

“I like to work with people who are brave.”

“I always think that the best records are the ones that you don't know what's going to happen next.”

“A producer's job is to create an environment where an artist can be their best.”
