As an artist, you're always somewhat obscure. We're not talking Hollywood.

You can get so many sounds out of one record. Every record can be used in some way.

Every person's remembering will be different. That engagement is important, I think.

We go to the movies to forget about time, to be in a dream state. And it's entertainment, distraction, from the fact that everything is kind of crumbling in front of our eyes.

I admire the abstract expressionists and pop artists so right now I'm referencing American '60s art and at the same time referencing Japanese manga culture.

I've never been a big cinephile, which may be why I could treat 'The Clock' like a puzzle and force the pieces to fit together in odd ways.

It's the way life is, I suppose. Whatever happens, you deal with it.
