I think the best way is to forget about racing people and just find territory that's fresh.

One of the more dispiriting things I think about endless touring is hearing the same piece of music over and over again and I end up feeling like a fraud.

Times of my life, brief periods without music, have completely felt dangerously over the edge.

Stereotyping and generating brands around musicians I think contributes to their eventual demise.

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.

I’m not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That’s nothing to do with me.

My plan is if you come to the shows in the first run of dates the versions you'll hear live are quite close to the record. But because I can set this up identically afterwards in a hotel room I can actually work when I'm on the move. The aim is that all the pieces will have had substantial remixes and different parts added and subtracted.
