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.

I'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.

I have these headphones, which pretty much exclude everything else so that you can really completely control the sound that you're hearing. I don't use them very much, I have to say. I very rarely listen on headphones.

Painting, I think it's like jazz.

Most game music is based on loops effectively.

I think that's very significant that we're so attached to the idea now of - it was something I advocated for years, that you can make music in studios, music doesn't have to be made as a real-time experience. But now you see the results of that in people who are completely crippled unless they know that they have the possibility of "cut and paste" and "undo." And "undo" and "undo" and "undo" and "undo" and "undo" again.

It's not the destination that matters. It's the change of scene.
