I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.

What I would really like to do, if I could have a sort of kingship for a short time and organize the group of my dreams - I would make one group which would be a combination of, say, Parliament and Kraftwerk - put those two together and say, "Make a record." Something that would be an extraordinary combination: the weird physical feeling of Parliament with this strange, rigid stuff over the top of it.

With all fashion, what we do is play at being somebody else. We play at inhabiting another kind of world.

In terms of what has been happening recently, there have been, I think, some really interesting new instruments that have come out that sort of show me the direction of the future. Korg has introduced the - they've had a whole series now of these things called Kaoss Pads. They're wonderful because they do get your muscles working again. And what DJs do, of course, with their DJ turntables now, the CD turntables, which have pitch change and speed change and everything else. They're doing something that I think is interestingly physical.

I'd rather hold one note for an hour and modulate it so that it means something than play 3,000 notes in 15 seconds.

I have a definite talent for convincing people to try something new. I am a good salesman. When I'm on form, I can sell anything.

The problem with computers is that there is not enough Africa in them.
