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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Hit the reset button. Whatever happened yesterday, forget about it. Get a new perspective. Today is a new day. Fresh start, begins now.

I must tell you what you will not ask, though I may wish it unsaid the next moment

The ultimate end of education is happiness or a good human life, a life enriched by the possession of every kind of good, by the enjoyment of every type of satisfaction.

People have to change their concepts of aging and I am not asking them to do so based on some fanciful notion, but on scientific fact.

Retire for what? What would I do? I made my name as a person that is helping. I'm like Moses in the music business.

That is what Americans do. We face a challenge - no matter how great - because we know that on the other side there is always hope.

Well-behaved: he always speaks as if his mother might be listening.

As a strong woman, there are things I would never put up with.

Images have a unique power to impart that which is beyond words.

If you step out of a tenth story window you do not break the law of gravity, you confirm it.
