I'm really terrible at sort of figuring out the thing that's going to make the money, I guess.

I feel as though I can get an end result that works for me, but as far as recording techniques, I don't feel that confident in my abilities.

I don't really understand the natural world, I admire it and am a little bit afraid of its power.

I've been making the recordings for a long time, and I have tons and tons of them. I'm like a digital hoarder or something - everything is on like hard drives and whatever.

I feel like these sounds are the ultimate kind of free sounds, the ultimate public domain sounds. And I feel like people put them in completely different contexts, and they mean something different to everybody.

I'm really not working in a environment that's sonically pristine. It's not a conventional studio, obviously; it's a bit ramshackle.

Sometimes when I'm traveling, I feel a little bit dislocated, especially the transitions you make when you're traveling - you go to a different city every day.
