The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.

One of the things you're doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.

I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory; that's when you do your best work.

Most big concerts sound disgusting and awful and insultingly bad. It's like going to the cinema and been shown a scratchy film which is upsidedown and the bulb had gone on the projector. The quality of large-scale live music is so shocking.

I'm kind of an evangelical atheist.

I believe in singing.
