True economy means the wisest expenditure of what we have, everything considered, looking at it from the broadest standpoint. It is not a good thing to save a nickel at the expenditure of twenty-five cents’ worth of time.
I think people can just make things now. It’s kind of what happened with the music industry. Before, a band couldn’t afford to go into a nice studio, or if they were going to go into a nice studio, they had to record twenty-five songs in two days. That’s not a healthy workflow for anyone.

Often I hear people say they do not have time to read. That’s absolute nonsense. In the one year during which I kept that kind of record, I read twenty-five books while waiting for people.
