One of my interests is to understand what constitutes the vibe of a place and what makes one concert different from another.

I am very sensitive to music, so I can quite easily allow myself to access that space in which I am completely taken over. And you can get quite a reaction out of the crowd when you do that.

I like to go to old versions and find out what effect beats and scales have on your body, how they can transport you.

I love communicating with people, and sometimes language is not enough. I think that's what poetry is, where you can mess with language and get through to things that can't be described or communicated through regular language or scientific processes.

The human condition is what it is. We can see beauty and wonder in the world, but we also face imminent death and uncertainty, and we often need to sidestep the idea of time and communicate with each other, not with words but with a sense of community and union. I don't want to make an overreaching statement, but I think that's the function of culture.

I think the origins of music have probably to do with magic and transcendence as well.

I think entertainment is a perfectly noble occupation.
