It's such a normal thing for a dance producer to make music and try it out in the club, but that was relatively new to me. I wanted to make a good album that felt like it had a point.

I feel like there's a young generation of producers who are taking inspiration from dubstep but trying to push it in other directions.

People read into the music. I have a feeling that they can believe that I'm trying to put some emotion forward. It's not just some technical exercise.

When drum'n'bass happened, when the two-step/garage thing happened, there was a chart smash every week; it operated on the underground and the pinnacle of pop mainstream at the same time.

So many people I was at school with have all ended up being musicians and putting records out.

When I first heard bands like Tortoise, it seemed to come off the back of that world, like let's make a record with three vibraphones and release it on a seven-inch with black-and-white artwork.

I think the most important thing for me is putting out records that document ideas.

Gospel isn't some ditty to make people enjoy their afternoon - it's communicating with God.

I realized there were no words or anything in my music, nothing that people would have to draw them in a little bit more.

I find the more I DJ, the more ideas I have and the more music I want to make.

My father is a massive, massive music fan. I grew up listening to rock, soul and jazz.

Human nature, as manifested in tribalism and nationalism, provides the momentum of the machinery of human evolution.

When you discover that all happiness is inside you, the wanting and needing are over, and life gets very exciting.

The sure ways to create new ventures of discovery are to keep an open mind.

The plumber he says, never flush a tampon. This is great information, cost me half a weeks pay.

I like to audition for good projects because if it's a good project, it's an opportunity to get in front of a casting director.

White men seem to have difficulty in realizing that people who live differently from themselves still might be traveling the upward and progressive road of life.

Even if you accept the theory of man-made climate change, wind turbines are a rotten way to reduce CO2 emissions, or to improve energy security.

I was built with a love of the night and the unquiet coffin.

Strong leaders understand that action cures indecision

I've always had great faith in people.
