I like things that are unique and extreme.

I don't know what makes someone hip. The goal is artist achievement and the best work we can do with no limitation.

The technology is getting better. There will be a day when you'll be able to hear any music you want, anywhere you are, on demand, in a quality that is as good as when it was made. Things are moving in that direction.

There’s a tremendous power in using the least amount of information to get a point across.

I'm just trying to make my favorite music. That's how I work; I just do things based on the way they feel to me. I want to be touched by the music I'm making. Luckily, other people have shared that response to my work over the years.

The power of nature is what all art strives to be. The more we can get in tune with the harmony of the planet, the more our art can benefit from that relationship.

For me, the Beatles are proof of the existence of God.
