W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you.

I have these headphones, which pretty much exclude everything else so that you can really completely control the sound that you're hearing. I don't use them very much, I have to say. I very rarely listen on headphones.

Most game music is based on loops effectively.

I do sometimes look back at things I've written in the past, and think, 'I just don't remember being the person who wrote that.'

Every collaboration helps you grow. With Bowie, it's different every time. I know how to create settings, unusual aural environments. That inspires him. He's very quick.

Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.
