I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.

Most big concerts sound disgusting and awful and insultingly bad. It's like going to the cinema and been shown a scratchy film which is upsidedown and the bulb had gone on the projector. The quality of large-scale live music is so shocking.

I despise computers in many ways. I think they’re hopelessly underevolved and overrated.

You don't have to act as if you know what you're doing

You just make different music on a computer. And you can make wonderful music on a computer, but don't pretend that the machinery is transparent. It makes as much difference to what you're doing as it does if you play an acoustic guitar as opposed to a kettledrum. You're not going to make the same music.

I cant duplicate my own successes, because part of the creation of that effect is making something happen that you didn't expect

I've had quite a lot of luck with dreams. I've often awoken in the night with a phrase or even a whole song in my head.
