In the 80s, we were still living in a kind of Cold War environment.

I think underneath it all [in the Big Funk] was a little bit of a Europeanness in it.

We were coming from a completely different place, which was saying "sound" is what you want to define it as, and you can shape it into music in whichever way you want.

We've always been observant of things, and I think Crackdown was very much like that and the film interpretation was that journalistic view of that situation.

Music doesn't have to be so rule-based - and so strict in its structures, construction and perception.

We also worked with Marshall Jefferson for Groovy, Laidback and Nasty. So we were lucky to work with some really great people.

Crackdown, the video, interpreted and reflected a sense of authority and austerity and a sense of slight, impending doom.

I think what we tried to do lyrically, vocally and musically was to capture a sound.

If you're going to change things, one of the things we had to change is to get away from that traditional model of rock music, and we were a part of that.

One of the tropes of our videos is that they were very rhythmic with clipped edits.

We had always used found sound, but we had always used it in an analogue way. And it was the early days of using collage and sound in a digital way. MTV, a couple of years later would be that way.

A conscience without regrets ~ to live life without having to say you're sorry.

There is nothing new under the sun but there are lots of old things we don't know.

I said the photograph isn't what was photographed, it's something else. It's about transformation. And that's what it is.

Had someone from Serbia flown a Greater Serbia flag in Tirana or Pristina, it would become an issue for the U.N. Security Council.

Being fired was the best luck of my life. It made me stop and reflect. It was the birth of my life as a writer.

I grew up in a generation that had exponential technological advances.

Don't believe everything you read.

The further human society drifts away from nature, the less we understand interdependence .

A good apology is like antibiotic, a bad apology is like rubbing salt in the wound.

I rant and rave about noise pollution.
