What I enjoy most about being on stage is that the natural instruments give you a greater freedom with texture. When you use natural instruments they have their own resonance.

I've just recently started doing the promo bits for the new album, and the funny thing is that the people who come to talk to me about these things seem to be getting younger. It's like the people who like the music are all young kids and they're on top of you - they know all about what you're doing, and they're excited and animated about it. So it's a lot of fun.

The avant-garde makes more sense to me.

There was a time where I was the youngest one in any group, and now when I turn around sometimes, I'm the oldest one in every group. It just seemed to flip-flop one day - it wasn't a gradual thing.

Everyone should be encouraged...in spiration and artistic freedom is the cornerstone of rock and roll.

The value of having a computer, to me, is that it'll remember everything you do. It's a databank.

We gave up on the idea of trying to make the record a good representation of the live performance.
