I occasionally meet people and they say, 'Oh, I was born to Discreet Music'... They always have very weird eyes, those people.

All music has political dimensions because it suggests a way of being.

If you had a sign above every studio door saying ‘This Studio is a Musical Instrument’ it would make such a different approach to recording.

I think the idea that people walk around to music is very interesting. They are actually creating the soundtrack to their lives as they walk around to it.

My lyrics are generated by various peculiar processes. Very random and similar to automatic writing.

I wish there was a serious investigation into flying saucers that wasn't conducted by crackpots. Unfortunately nearly all of the people who are interested in them kind of manufacture the evidence to fit the theories rather than the other way around. So it's very hard to find any dispassionate treatment of them. Maybe there isn't any scientific basis in which case that's why you never see any scientific evidence.

I believe in singing.
