  • I think that Nickel Creek has finally learned to embrace its strengths, and recognize what those strengths are. I think it’s been both a process of realizing what those strengths are and then not being afraid of the strengths which may box us in. You know a song on the new record like "Jealous of the Moon" we might not have considered recording before because it’s a lot like a country song. But it happens to be something that we do well. And we’re no longer afraid that something we do might label us a “bluegrass band” or a “country band” because we’re comfortable enough in our own skin now to just do what feels right and to do what we feel we do well enough to make a contribution to music as a whole.
  • We just met and it clicked and he got what kind of record we wanted to make. The world's a big place. would probably suggest we work with somebody different. There's lots of different people to work with and we have huge ambitions. We want to do something different with every record.
