At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.

The lyrics are constructed as empirically as the music. I don't set out to say anything very important.

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

I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.

The trouble with New Age music is that there's no evil in it.

I think one of my pursuits over the years is trying to answer the question of 'what else can you do with a voice other than stand in front of a microphone and sing?'
