Because I've been making music and releasing it for so long, I've got that production-line thing in my brain: I can't do anything new until the last one's out.

I'm a really good hacker, but I'm not a sensible person.

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.

When you get new rules that work, you're changing the physiology of your brain. And then your brain has to reconfigure itself in order to deal with it.

It sounds really arrogant, but my music's my favourite music ever. I prefer it to anyone else's.

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

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.
