After putting out quite a few albums, there's a feeling of why make another? I was trying to make something that was an album experience.

I feel like there's a young generation of producers who are taking inspiration from dubstep but trying to push it in other directions.

People read into the music. I have a feeling that they can believe that I'm trying to put some emotion forward. It's not just some technical exercise.

When drum'n'bass happened, when the two-step/garage thing happened, there was a chart smash every week; it operated on the underground and the pinnacle of pop mainstream at the same time.

So many people I was at school with have all ended up being musicians and putting records out.

When I first heard bands like Tortoise, it seemed to come off the back of that world, like let's make a record with three vibraphones and release it on a seven-inch with black-and-white artwork.

I think the most important thing for me is putting out records that document ideas.

Gospel isn't some ditty to make people enjoy their afternoon - it's communicating with God.

I realized there were no words or anything in my music, nothing that people would have to draw them in a little bit more.

I find the more I DJ, the more ideas I have and the more music I want to make.

My father is a massive, massive music fan. I grew up listening to rock, soul and jazz.

The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life.

The Peace Corps is a sort of Howard Johnson's on the main drag into maturity.

England, a happy land we know, Where follies naturally grow, Where without culture they arise, And tow'r above the common size.

I don't like showing my privacy online.

Success is best when it is shared.

How can a novelist achieve atonement when, with her absolute power of deciding outcomes, she is also God?

By working to get away from your circumstance you can make something better of yourself, but there’s no guarantee... But you know what? The joy of it is chasing that dream.

I want to be the perfect child. I owe so much to my parents and the way I was brought up.

The news comes somewhat late, but I'm glad to hear it nevertheless.

I started playing in bars when I was about 15 years old, and there are things that I saw early on that really shaped who I am.
