What really helps me is being able to record my albums at home - I have more fun experimenting that way, as opposed to working with an engineer, in which case I have to deal with the humiliation of doing take after take, and that can get frustrating.

Make sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul

Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.

You gotta constantly purify yourself, living in the city, around human beings. There might be people close to you who affect you inside yourself in such a corrupt way that it screws with your ability to do what you do. But if you make sure that the people who are close you are good people who are there for you and love you, you can create your temple everywhere you go.

I never feel like I'm running out of ideas, because it is clear to me - music is infinite

I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.

What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.
