"Well … I smoke weed sometimes when I'm recording, but I don't feel like I need it to be creative. It's like high jump at an athletics carnival, where getting over the bar represents enjoying music or being creative. If you can get over the bar without drugs and then you want to take drugs to get even higher over the bar, that's cool. But if you need drugs to get over the bar in the first place, there's something wrong. It should be an enhancer … It shouldn't be necessary to do it. You shouldn't need to be stoned to listen to your favourite album."
