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

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.

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

In cities like New York and Austin, there's much more of a social context for music than in other places.

I like what the future holds. I don't like thinking about the past.

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

I never use the word, it's loaded. What love means to me is need.
