You start with an idea but then so many things can happen.

Photography is solitary and there are lags between seeing with your eyes and seeing through the lens, and then seeing the image on your computer... I often see things after the fact. So there’s a revelatory quality. And this definitely includes a sense of playfulness, because you’re not sure what the consequences are going to be.

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

When you take something apart, you get a great sense of what it took to originally put it together.

People who care about records are always giving me a hard time. I mean, I would destroy records in performances, and break them, and whatever I could do to them to create a sound that was something else than just the sound that was in the groove.

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

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