Famous Quotes & Sayings

Todd Rundgren

I used to have sort of mixed feelings about a producer whose only skills seemed to be going into the studio, schmoozing the artists and making them feel good. I can see now that in some cases, that's what you have to do because that's the only way you're going to get them to produce.

Mike Devine has done a great job. He played all of 30-some odd minutes (34:22 to be exact) last year as a freshman.

He's a real calm kid, he's very athletic and the guys really enjoy playing in front of him. He's a guy that really hates to get beat.

Usually I'm pretty myopic. It's hard for me to multi-task, so to speak. If I'm in a show and I'm creating a character, I'm just completely into that. It's really hard for me to do anything else like write music. I have to sort of shut down different sides of my head and just focus.

Richard P. Feynman
