The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.

To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.

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

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

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

For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.
