I'm basically a musician.

I’ve started thinking about pure electronic music again. Something very melodic, very aggressive.

The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.

I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.

Your responsibility as an artist is to experiment.

I make music to generate atmospheres, not to complement already existing ones.

But I always communicate with the audience. I never pretend like I'm just in my bedroom making a track. The whole point of doing a gig is, like, a feedback thing between you and the audience.

I like my stuff 'cause I only ever end up with tracks that I really, really like. It always appeals to me.

Because, when I'm making music, I don't think about anything, you know? All I think about is what I want to hear. So that for me is what I want - I want my head to be constantly being rearranged.

I've never really been that much of a fan of Ninja Tune.

Women talk when they want to. Or don't.

Sometimes I feel like my whole life before she died was a dream.

For me, a garden is peace of mind. It immediately takes my mind off the thing I'm puzzling about in my work and gives me repose.

At times when you're adapting a book into a movie, you have to take certain creative liberties to bridge the gap between the two forms of media.

Only triple I ever got.

You are fortunate to live here. If I were your President, I would levy a tax on you for living in San Francisco!

When you lose a game or don't play well you can't wait for the next one, because it soon disappears, the disappointment.

No virtue fades out of mankind. Not over-hopeful by inborn temperament, cautious by long experience, I yet never despair of human virtue.
