Stereotyping and generating brands around musicians I think contributes to their eventual demise.

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.

All actual life is encounter.

If you can know how to convert your time by investing it, then you can buy greatness with it.

Not only does the liberal paradigm not even come close to agreeing with the social and economic reality on the ground today, worse, it has largely congealed into a political religion. . .

If you want to capitulate to what commercial needs are, you can always be commercially valuable, but I'm not interested in being that.

Chemotherapy tests your sanity.

There is such a thing as everyday, ordinary, vulgar ecstasy; the ecstasy of anger, the ecstasy of speed at the wheel, the ecstasy of ear-splitting noise, ecstasy in the soccer stadium.

Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.

There's little comfort in the wise

If thou art of elephant-strength or of lion-claw, still peace is, in my opinion, better than strife.
