Except in a few cases like Music for Airports, which was a very clear case of noticing a niche [and] saying, "Okay, there's this situation in which people always play music, and nobody has written music for that situation so I'm going to." So, that was a very clear example of spotting a niche and working for it. I have done that occasionally.

You can't really imagine music without technology.

My shows are not narratives.

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.

Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.

I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
