Pop is totally results-oriented and there is a very strong feedback loop.

Whenever there's a new music, there's a new way of listening. And whenever there's a new way of listening, there are new musics that follow from that. And people start listening differently - that can either mean in different places or at different volumes or in different social groups or through different technologies.

Sometimes you recognize that there is a category of human experience that has not been identified but everyone knows about it. That is when I find a term to describe it.

Some people are very good at being 'stars' and it suits them. I'm grudging about it and I find it annoying.

I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.

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.

I love good, loud speakers.
