I had a very clear idea of what I should be doing and what I wanted. It's like a giant audio sculpture. It did take some time. I was actually working on the record for a year and a half. I was terrified this time around.
People say the record shows tremendous confidence.
But during the making of it, it was very difficult. You've got a valid point. But I was dealing with a lot of fear in making this record. I wanted it to be the best I could make. I felt like I was walking on a tightrope every day.
