I think science fiction and sound is a really interesting thing. You might as well think of it as sonic fiction.

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.

... the whole tenour of female education ... tends to render the best disposed romantic and inconstant; and the remainder vain and mean.

I'm always looking at ways of shaking up the writing experience because I think it helps.

To grow, change, love, adapt, experience. We have to be open minded. This is the life and that's the way it should be lived.

I hate the ballplayer who says, 'I did everything I could have possibly done.' Because if you didn't win it all, you obviously didn't do everything you could have done.
