Life is all about toiling and labor. But obviously I get great joy in confronting challenge and taking risk.

I've always been obsessed with electronics and using computers and software. It's always been part of my vernacular.

There's nothing cutting edge about what I'm trying to do. I'm not creating a new sound. I'm not like Bjork, who's an alien from another world. I'm of the earth. You could extract any measure of music out of anything I've ever done and you could find its affiliations in music history.

Love is unconditional and incomprehensible. And I believe it's possible to love absent of mutual respect.

There is nothing more incredible and moving and appealing than good music, and it cannot always be reduced to a story, to exposition. It's so much more abstract and brilliant.

I’ve never known a man who loved me.

That's really where my heart is, unfortunately - I'm less interested in songwriting and more into just making noise.
