To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.

Punk. . .was more a kind of do-it-yourself, anyone-can-do-it attitude. If you only played two notes on the guitar, you could figure out a way to make a song out of that, and that's what it was all about.

Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?

I'm very much into making lists and breaking things apart into categories.

The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.

The idea of making music from an imaginary culture was to give ourselves a set of restrictions and parameters within which to work. Otherwise, we might have just gone on all kinds of creative detours, some of which might have been interesting. But better we confine ourselves to something.

I love getting out of my comfort zone.
