My history is really playing live - not writing or recording.

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.

The only way to find that territory is trying to keep your mind constantly open. That's the only way that you're ever going to see the sort of signs of where to go.

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

A woman should always know her place, and it's exactly wherever she wants to be.

We fill too many gutters while we argue unimportant points and confuse issues.

Committing your goals to paper increases the likelihood of your achieving them by one thousand percent!

It took seven years from the day I decided I wanted to write fiction to actually getting a book published.

Business in Russia was not being done like in the West, with contracts. In Russia, hundreds of millions of dollars were going forward and backward by word of mouth.

Every cell in your body is eavesdropping on your thoughts.

Ego is impurity. Be selfless. Consecrate and dedicate your life to perfection.

I do not know a better cure for mental illness than a book.

I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland and it is still home to me. My writing has taken me all over the world, but this is the place I come back to and the place where I find it easiest to write.

There is no regional art. The only region left is the art magazine.
