• Even when I wrote Basic myself the day before I burned it into a computer I wasn't making design changes. I didn't have a testing team. I did all the testing myself.

• I remember reading a book that was on songwriting at some point that I found in my dad's store, and just... I did not relate at all.

It's like putting a schedule on your song, and it doesn't allow you to be moved by your own music.
