“It's a bit sad now that Apple is in the position all four of us planned three years ago. I just wish Paul would use the studio if he wants to. It's silly not to. [...] I can't see the four of us working together again, but I'd like us to be friends. We all own the business and it's doing well. I'd like all four of us to enjoy it now."
