The difficulty of always feeling that you ought to be doing something is that you tend to undervalue the times when you’re apparently doing nothing, and those are very important times.

I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.

I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.

Nearly all the things I do that are of any merit at all start off just being good fun.

I wish there was a serious investigation into flying saucers that wasn't conducted by crackpots. Unfortunately nearly all of the people who are interested in them kind of manufacture the evidence to fit the theories rather than the other way around. So it's very hard to find any dispassionate treatment of them. Maybe there isn't any scientific basis in which case that's why you never see any scientific evidence.

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