It's funny how the hippies and the punks tried to get rid of the conservatives, but they always seem to get the upper hand in the end.

People from the rock and roll world have felt for years that electronic music had no soul, but now electronic music can not only have soul but have all the shapes in the world.

Part of me is probably more conservative than people realise. I like my old string quartets, I don't like music that's trippy for trippy's sake.

I'm a fountain of blood in the shape of a girl . . . leave me now return tonight tide will show you the way if you forget my name you will go astray like a killer whale trapped in a bay

I guess I'm quite used to not being understood rather than being understood.

When I write a song, I see a tunnel, and then the chorus is an open space, or the bassline is doing this shape. I see songs as a more of a geometric, spacial experience.

The relationship changes as you learn more about people, and the work sort of takes on its own life. I enjoy this very much.
