I've noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it's far enough in the future.

The whole history of pop music had rested on the first person singular, with occasional intrusions of the second person singular.

As soon as you externalize an idea you see facets of it that weren't clear when it was just floating around in your head.

Whenever there's a new music, there's a new way of listening. And whenever there's a new way of listening, there are new musics that follow from that. And people start listening differently - that can either mean in different places or at different volumes or in different social groups or through different technologies.

You don't have to act as if you know what you're doing

I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.

I enjoy working with complicated equipment. A lot of my things started just with a rhythm box, but I feed it through so many things that what comes out sounds very complex and rich.
