One of the goals of a spiritual practice is self-awareness, and one of the best tools of self-awareness is simple emotional vulnerability.

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

It just seems like musicians want to sell a few records and put out a perfume line, and I think it's so sad that there are so many musicians who don't want to change the world.

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

I just have to remind myself that my daily quotidie in life has almost nothing to do with any aspect of my professional life as a public figure.

The main thing that excites me and makes me want to get out of bed is the thought of being able to go into my studio to work on music.

You can sit down with Reason or Ableton and literally in a couple of hours make a very good-sounding record. But then a lot of people become contented with that, rather than pushing themselves to making something that sounds great.
