The main thing I’m into is going about on a bike, taking random routes; I’m really into the idea of making up journeys, and just seeing where they take you, because they always end up taking you someplace freaky.

One of those things that I find hard to dispose of is my attitude to album sequencing, the layout of the pieces.

But I don't really listen to much be-bop at all at the moment.

What happens in the studio is technically the same thing that happens on the stage. In the past I had to make quite brutal adaptations of the material to make it work on stage. I don't always like doing that because sometimes you're shaving away the things that you actually quite like about them, the spontaneity of it.

I want to change peoples' minds about music, I want to bring the really brutal experimental stuff to peoples' attention.

Your responsibility as an artist is to experiment.

If it's a language you don't understand and you're not concerned with the meanings of the words, your impression comes from how the words look, particularly if the language uses different characters.
