Musicians are always gigging and never have a chance to stop for a minute.

Ideally, I'd like to be the eternal novice, for then only the surprises would be endless.

It is the individual voice, present to itself, that needs to be heard. We need to hear the process of the musician working on himself. We don't need to hear who is more clever with synthesizers. Our cleverness has created the world we live in, which in many ways, we're sorry about.

One thing you learn: if you want to reveal yourself, you also have to know where to stop.

When I joined the band I didn't know any of the tunes, and when I left the band I didn't know any of the tunes!

I cannot say what I think is right about Music. I only know the rightness of it.

If sound is music and came from silence, then silence is potentially greater than sound. If the sound is effective, it should actually have a chemical - some sort of physiological - effect on the listener, so he doesn't have to hear that sound again.
