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

I think that sex, drugs, art and religion very much overlap with one another and sometimes one becomes another.

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?

I've got a feeling that music might not be the most interesting place to be in the world of things.

People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.

I describe things in terms of body movements. I dance a bit to describe what sort of movement it ought to make, and that's a good way of talking to musicians. Particularly bass players.

I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
