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 wanted to do gigs where you've just got mirrors on the stage, and then you light the crowd so they look at the stage and all they can see is themselves. It's just like, "There you go, it's you, you cunts."

I'm trying to work out more ways to involve my children, because the way I do stuff is so anti-kid, it's really boring. It's not fun. It is to me, but not to them, because they don't even know what I'm doing.

In Britain, it's good for me to be anonymous, because they just think it's a nobody. "Who is this guy?"

My filing system's really crap because I can never decide whether to sort things by studio, or year, or where I lived.

Forget all the equipment, forget the music, at the end of the day it's just literally frequencies and their effects on your brain. That's what's everyone's essentially after.

The holy grail for a music fan, I think, is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever.
