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 used to make up names when I used to catalog my stuff.

You can't rely on the fact that people know you. At Glastonbury, when they all knew I was DJing, everyone was cheering even though they'd never heard some of the tracks I was playing before.

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

The best artists are people who don't consider themselves artists, and the people who do are usually the most pretentious and annoying. They've got their priorities wrong. They're just doing it to be artists rather than because they want to do it.

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

I'd like to have a dog with me.
