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

Often, I think you find that you're enjoying certain things, you've got this new way of listening, and you find that you really enjoy the way that sounds on it and the way this other thing sounds on it and the way that other thing sounds on it. So, you're finding a new pleasure that you didn't know about before.

Cultural objects have no notable identity outside of that which we confer upon them. Their value is entirely a product of the interaction that we have with them.

Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.

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