If you had a sign above every studio door saying ‘This Studio is a Musical Instrument’ it would make such a different approach to recording.

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.

If I tried to make a commercial album, it would be a complete flop. I have no idea what the world at large likes.

In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.

I'm not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper.

John Cage made you realise that there wasn't a thing called noise, it was just music you hadn't appreciated.

One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes; you move to places you wouldn't if you knew better.
