The biology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface.

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

The lyrics are constructed as empirically as the music. I don't set out to say anything very important.

Given the chance, i'll die like a baby, on some faraway beach, when the season's over.

I'd rather hold one note for an hour and modulate it so that it means something than play 3,000 notes in 15 seconds.

What happens with notation is that it reduces things to a language which isn't necessarily appropriate to them. In the same way that words do, you get a much cruder version of what was actually intended.

I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards; I thought that was great for years.
