I think the internet and the web is just like a big consciousness of the planet, a big brain of the planet.

There's endless possibilities to taking music into the future by using music that actually was 100 years old.

Essentially the soul of the planet is being controlled by corporations.

I'm not denying that in the world there's been some tremendous musical happenings, like DJ Shadow or whatever, that kind of thing. But when it goes into the weird thing where you get a remix done by a certain person because they need a brand name, that's when it becomes really discouraging.

There's different ways of presenting a pop group to the world. It doesn't have to be the same old poses.

I always thought that pop groups were going to be made up in the 21st century. It wouldn't be four musicians, as such. Especially in the online world, with the worlds that are opening up.

Pop music is not just a clumsy mass fanaticism, connected to a deceitful enchantment totally lacking in moral rigour.
