We're going through this super-uptight era, which I think comes entirely from literacy, actually. It's the result of machines that were designed as word processors being used for making music.

I've noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it's far enough in the future.

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

I cant duplicate my own successes, because part of the creation of that effect is making something happen that you didn't expect

I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.

One night, I pissed into an empty wine bottle so I could continue watching Monty Python, and suddenly thought 'I've never tasted my own piss,' so I drank a little. It looked just like Orvieto Classico and tasted of nearly nothing

I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
