en He laid down the law. He was like, 'We have to make this kind of a Gomez record — are you in or are you out? The songs are gonna be about the vocals and the harmonies.' And he never swayed away from that line. ... He kept stopping us from throwing in all the whistles and bells, as he would always call it.

en Don't be swayed by bells and whistles, like reward programs or miles. A lot of consumers are drawn to these, but if you carry a balance, the interest rate may not be worth it.

en The biggest thing to me is that ['Version 2.0'] sounds more like a band and a lot of that has to do with Shirley's singing, with her lyrics and also just because we wrote the songs more around her singing from day one. Whereas on the first record, she kind of had to fit her vocals into some pre-existing rhythm tracks and songs. This time almost all the songs started with her,

en They're trying to pack the house and do some sort of made-for-TV show of strength. But the bottom line is that you're spending all that money to speak to a room full of people who have already made up their minds. You can spend a lot of money for bells and whistles and dog and pony shows. But that doesn't build your organization, and caucuses are about organization, not bells and whistles.

en It looks like we're gonna have the same old, same old with a new database with bells and whistles.

en I've written more songs than ever before on this record. (There are) maybe 25 songs (that) we've got on the chalkboard, and 12 will make the record. It's funk, rock, soul, and pop all mixed together in a big soup. I'm probably going to have some real strings and maybe some more orchestrated songs. This one, and I'll quote Chad here, is going to be the most varied record I've ever done.

en It was nice to be able to look at the guitar player and suggest something else, and feeling comfortable with that. We even used scratch vocals on two of the songs. That's how comfortable I felt. One of the musicians wrote one of the songs and played a couple of the instruments. He also did background vocals with me and I also did some myself. We kept it all right there in the family.

en If the record company won't let you put a record out, then you've nothing to promote, and they're not going to help you out with the tour budget if you've nothing to promote. So basically we were kind of trapped. And all the songs we would have written would have been owned by Mercury until they released us. So what do you do? It's kind of like a prison sentence. You are at their beck and call a little.

en We just got rid of the bells and whistles and just played football. Our offensive line really started coming off the ball and making holes.

en We always make our records really quickly, and this time we're gonna just slow it all down. Usually we write 12 or 13 songs, and then we just record them and that's it. We'd like to write, like, 40 songs and really spend a lot more time writing than we ever have.

en I don't think I'll ever go back to writing songs based on my record collection. Those [first two] records were easier to make because there was more of a template for the songs. They were dictated by what kind of music I was listening to.
