It's funny, because I'm so associated with digital art and computer art, and yet I spend so little time in front of the computer.

With the mailorder, I wake up in the morning, I check my e-mail, process the orders, and then I just print everything out. And then for the rest of the day it's actually sitting with paper.

I can only stand to sit in front of my computer for three or four hours a day. Otherwise it can get really soul-sucking.

I love collecting; my joy is finding private press American or European home studio electronic music from the 60s and 70s.

Records can ruin you. That's why it's important to be as intimately familiar as possible with the history of recorded music, I guess. In a way, it's an argument for record collecting.

I don't want to rewrite history.

I think Pro Tools is pretty analogous to how people composed music on tape back in the 70s, taking little fragments of things and saying, 'How can we organize these in a sensible way'?

I think if people have more of an understanding of what I'm doing, then they'll appreciate it and get into it more.

I rarely assess live shows after I play them.

I use a laptop more as a tool, as sort of the central artery. Everything goes through the digital audio card of my computer, but if I had my druthers I'd do everything in dedicated hardware.

Unfortunately I've gotten more resistance in the last year than I ever have.

All I got was the news that he'd married an absolute honey, and an admonition to eat my heart out.

Everyone is in awe of the lion tamer in a cage with half a dozen lions - everyone but a school bus driver.

The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.

The common people have no history: persecuted by the present, they cannot think of preserving the memory of the past.

I wanted to be a rock star.

Never do anything that someone else can and will do, when there is so much of importance to be done which others cannot or will not do.

Slavery is dead, but the spirit which animated it still lives.

Better to sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian.

Love that cares, listens.

The connection between dress and war is not far to seek; your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.
