I think that sex, drugs, art and religion very much overlap with one another and sometimes one becomes another.

I'm bloody awful at multi-tasking.

What people call unemotional just doesnt have a single overriding emotion to it. The things that I like best are the ones that ambiguous on the emotional level.

As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.

When you look back on a historical period of music, it seems so obvious to you what the characteristics of it are, but they're not obvious at the time. So, when I look back at my own work, I could easily write a very convincing sort of account of it that made it look like I had planned it all out from day one and that this led logically to that and then I did this and then that followed quite naturally from that. But that's not how it felt.

I hate the way CDs just drone on for bloody hours and you stop caring.

Ideas reflect the moment, and so you have to use them. If you store ideas, they wither.
