I'm straight, but I love going to house music clubs and flirting with women and gay men.

I feel like people might be slightly less inclined to hate me as much as they did in the past, and I think part of that is selling fewer records.

One of the reasons why fundamentalists are so aggressive in trying to promote fundamentalism is because deep down they know it's arbitrary. If you're comfortable with your belief you don't need to convince other people to agree with you.

The aggressive, energised, political, or even politicised, culturally aware music hasn't really existed [recently].

But at the same time, I don't let myself regret things to the point that I'm paralyzed.

I like the humility that comes from being hated. Hopefully some humility and compassion comes out of that.

I remind myself that the universe is 15 billion years old, and I'm only 46 years old, so my perspective is sort of limited and fear-based and skewed. So I sort of turn things over to whatever you want to call it - whether it's God, or the universe or the spirit of the universe - and I just sort of turn things over to God and hope that this spirit that has been around for 15 billion years will have a better understanding of how things should be than I do.
