I am a ham. I've no business being rock 'n' roll. I've said it over and over again that I'm a classical composer, dishevelling my personality by dabbling in rock 'n' roll.

I want to get lean and mean, keep it minimalist.

If you're all loaded up on love, you haven't got anywhere else to go.

In the studio you have pretty much carte blanche with whatever you're doing. You can turn natural instruments into electronic instruments.

I'm content with making records, but I don't want to be doing the same thing all the time.

It would be a stronger world, a stronger, loving world, to die in.

I learn from thinking about the future, what hasn't been done yet. That's kind of my constant obsession.
