Everybody kind of understands, Oh yeah you take drugs and it does something to your brain and then you can't stop. It's easier to describe that shame, that horrible feeling of not being able to control your own life.

每个人都理解，哦，是的，您吸毒，它对您的大脑有某些作用，然后您就无法停止。更容易形容这种耻辱，无法控制自己的生活的可怕感觉。

Everyone's just extracting meaning and feeling and emotion from almost every aspect of music, and I think that for me, it's a huge antidote to that to have a concept album.

每个人都只是从音乐的几乎每个方面中提取意义，感觉和情感，我认为对于我来说，拥有概念专辑是一个巨大的解毒剂。

There's a lot of music that sounds like it's literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.

听起来有很多音乐听起来像是计算机生成的，完全与坐在乐器旁的一个人离婚。

I certainly understand that we're all trying to make a living, but I'm not thinking about that when I'm making it. And if that's your sole motivation, it's going to reflect that narcissistic greed, and you're going to hear it in the music.

我当然知道我们都在努力谋生，但是我在谋生时并没有考虑这一点。如果这是您的唯一动机，那么它将反映出那种自恋的贪婪，并且您将在音乐中听到它。

I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.

我有一个六岁的孩子，他的事是打开汽车上的迪斯尼收音机，听音乐和音乐的落入背景，我会产生过敏反应。我真的在为此工作。
