A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
记录
Records
People assume I sell a lot more records than I actually do. I really don't sell any.

I've got time, I hope, to make lots of quiet records. So quiet you won't be able to hear them.

The thing I do, really, is a communication with audiences more than any achievement through records.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
All I want to do is sing on other people's records.
我只想在别人的唱片上唱歌。
Long made it possible for me to get on records, so what little money he did take from me, if any at all, he was entitled to it. He didn't take something from me.

When I started making my own records, I had this idea of drowning out the singer and putting the rest in the foreground. It was the background that interested me.
当我开始制作我自己的唱片时，我有一个想法，那就是把歌手淹没，把其他的都放在前台。我感兴趣的是背景。
I don't listen to my own records a lot. Once in a while - to check out my mistakes. Because you can always see a spot or two in the record where you could have done better. So you more or less study this way.
我不常听自己的唱片。偶尔——检查一下我的错误。因为你总能在记录中看到一两处你本可以做得更好的地方。所以你或多或少是这样学习的。
