I often say to people that producing is the best paid form of cowardice. When you produce things you almost always get credit, if it's a good record, but you hardly ever get the blame if it's not! You don't really take responsibility for your work.

Sometimes you recognize that there is a category of human experience that has not been identified but everyone knows about it. That is when I find a term to describe it.

The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.

I have these headphones, which pretty much exclude everything else so that you can really completely control the sound that you're hearing. I don't use them very much, I have to say. I very rarely listen on headphones.

I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.

Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.

I don't like celebrity programmes - but I do like programmes about how ideas are formed and evolve.
