In my normal life I'm a very unadventurous person.

If you had a sign above every studio door saying ‘This Studio is a Musical Instrument’ it would make such a different approach to recording.

The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band

The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.

We're going through this super-uptight era, which I think comes entirely from literacy, actually. It's the result of machines that were designed as word processors being used for making music.

A part of me has become immortal, out of my control.

I've got a feeling that music might not be the most interesting place to be in the world of things.
