I'd say that it's important for music to be there that gives you a challenge, that rearranges things in your head.

It's important for that to exist in a society that doesn't present you with any genuine problems.

I'm always pleased with my work. Absolutely.

I make music to generate atmospheres, not to complement already existing ones.

I like my stuff 'cause I only ever end up with tracks that I really, really like. It always appeals to me.

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

I've never been about trying to promote a brand of Squarepusher. I've never been keen on that idea that these are the character traits that I've got to stick with and amplify and keep pushing forward and pushing on the public. I'm really happy to throw it all away and start each record with a blank slate but I concede you've got a point, there are things I can't get rid of, no matter how hard I try.
