In all the music I've done, what I'm really interested in above all else, and I'm not sure it's what one should be interested in, is the kind of - you know, people talk about work progressions, which doesn't really make sense with pop music because there is no progression, because there is no tonic, because there is no more tonality.

I have no idea what the hell is going on in the world, in my life, in what anything means, or what I'm supposed to do.

I am definitely interested in soundtracks that one might associate with fantasy or sci-fi - they tend to be rich with musical ideas.

It's so important what you're doing in your life. It's tremendously important to the work, and no aesthetic theories take that into account.

Musical acts that feign enthusiasm for what they're doing the guitarist who jumps up and down, like it's choreographed are so transparently vacuous.

I would never want to kill a human being.
