I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.

I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I've never been interested in that.

The prospect of music being detachable from time and place meant that one could start to think of music as a part of one's furniture.

The philosophical idea that there are no more distances, that we are all just one world, that we are all brothers, is such a drag! I like differences.

I think that there's something that I still like about the fact of a package, like the latest report from somebody. "Okay, this is what they're up to now; this is what they're doing; who's working with them?

When I've finally got the title, I think, "Okay, yes, now I know where we are. Now I know what it is. Fine, that must be finished or nearly finished.

Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.
