"Well, our songwriting process is pretty collective"
About this Quote
Rich’s phrasing lands in the safest possible lane. "Pretty" blunts any hard edge, keeping the claim flexible enough to avoid specifics. "Collective" signals unity and democracy, but also functions as a strategic fog machine. It suggests a band-as-family ethos while neatly sidestepping the messier realities: the power dynamics in the room, the uncredited tweaks, the person who always has the final veto, the external producer who may be shaping the sound more than anyone wants to admit.
Coming from an actor, the line also reads as brand management. Actors who cross into music often face suspicion: Are they a serious musician or a celebrity tourist? Stressing a "collective" process positions Rich as collaborative, humble, and embedded in a team, not an interloper demanding the spotlight. It’s less a window into the studio than a carefully calibrated posture for the interview circuit: don’t ask who’s the auteur; ask how good the vibe is.
