In America, the colors sing, they don't just glower at you. The West Coast especially is fantastic. It seems like you can do whatever you want here.

You never really get to touch anything that you're doing unless you print it out. I don't really enjoy making artwork on a computer because it doesn't seem like I've done anything.

Computers don't seem real to me because there's a sheet of glass between you and whatever is happening.

I love going somewhere like Japan where you can't understand a word of the advertising - you just see it for its aesthetic beauty, without feeling that you're being sold something.

I come from a generation in England that considered making money or trying to promote yourself to be morally suspect.

Music is something you hear in your head, that's all, we shouldn't give it more than it is.

The packaging for music has become a sort of King James Bible, where it elevates the contents to something more spiritual. This is something else that drove me to a newspaper format. I thought, "Let's put it in a newspaper, to get away from that spiritual thing."
