If you've got a stick hitting a drum and you're programming it on a computer, it's so much more interesting than a sample playing back - it's something in the air, that's the magical ingredient.

It's quite similar to guitar solos, only with programming you have to use your brain. The most important thing is that it should have some emotional effect on me, rather than just, 'Oh, that's really clever.'

I'm a quite erratic person: From setups to actually when I'm doing a track, it's just turning and switching and changing all the time.

I've got a weird balance problem as a human being, like I'm dizzy, and it's something to do with that.

The best musicians or sound-artists are people who never considered themselves to be artists or musicians.

You change all the time. Everything changes you.

I've always got to change something. All the tracks I've done in the last five years were made in like six different studios. It gets a bit complicated.
