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

I'm always pleased with my work. Absolutely.

Your responsibility as an artist is to experiment.

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

My father had a phase of having jukeboxes all over the house. He was a music lover but he was also into musical machinery. Not instruments, he was never interested in playing particularly but there would be these odd objects, like valve amplifiers being dismantled on the kitchen table. My mum wasn't massively keen on that, but it was part of the environment.

The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.

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.
