Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.

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

I would like to see a future where artists think that they have a right to contemplate things like global warming.

I mostly used the studio devices, because I knew what they had. Generally I find I'm happy to use whatever's around. If there's nothing there I'll make something. For example, one of the things I tried doing was getting a tiny loudspeaker and feeding the instruments off the tape through this tiny speaker and then through this huge long plastic tube - about 50 feet long - that they used to clean out the swimming pool in the place where I was staying. You get this really hollow, cavernous, weird sound, a very nice sound. We didn't use it finally, but nonetheless we well could have.

It must be quite mysterious to some people why I bother to carry on. Because, you know, I don't sell that many records.

My shows are not narratives.
