I'd say most of my work is just trying to make sense of the disorienting and overloaded world that we inhabit. We're bombarded with sound at every level.

With multimedia, everything blurs. Software takes the concept of the imagination and makes it something you can edit, tweak, and transform with digital techniques. Everything becomes an edited file.

The easiest thing I can say is simple, but paradoxical in this era of total sampling: Be original.

Hurt me back when I hurt you and I would always love you for it.

Life every day is a room full of doors.

The mind's health depends on what it feeds on. Avoid thoughts and conversations that kill your soul.

I wasn't picked for any of the sports teams at school because I was half the size of everyone else, but now everyone assumes I must have been some sort of rugby player.

While I believe that when you are in the glamour industry, you have to look your best, I also believe being skinny is not 'hot and happening.'

You might not be able to outthink, outmarket or outspend your competition, but you can outwork them.
