Everything's very perfectly balanced; for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.

Maybe what I do isn't going to be acknowledged by people, but that's me. It's my nature to do things that are weirder and less understood and that was a path I needed to take

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people; it doesn't sound good to me. If you're making music in order to become famous or loved by the masses that's not what I'm about. When somebody's making music for the wrong reasons, I hear it right away.

Music has always carried me through times of loneliness. So when I make music, I like it to make people who listen to it feel like they have a friend who reveals something personal to them, rather than trying to be like a god up on a pedestal

It means basically I'm using the synthesizer more to change the sounds of other things rather than to use it as the source of the sound.
