So evidently music was a killer app and is a killer app for computer and the Internet; it just took the tech industry a long time to hear that message.

I've been out on the periphery.

I was desperate really for people not to accuse me of coldness. It was taboo.

I started looking at small companies that were running a sort of virtual reality cottage industry: I had imagined that I would just put on a helmet and be somewhere else - that's your dream of what it's going to be.

While I'm impressed with the length of those legs, she's not an intellectual giant.

If I were a 13-year-old and I wanted to create subversive art, I wouldn't go out and buy an electric guitar. I'd get myself a personal computer.

When the polar ice caps melt, my recording studio will rise up like an ark, and I'll float off into the drowned world like a character from a J.G. Ballard novel.
