The beginning of art is not reason. It is the buried treasure of the unconscious...that unconscious which has more understanding than our lucidity.

Contrary to general belief, an artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.

I don't want to write any more for the old Man-power instruments and am handicapped by the lack of adequate electrical instruments for which I now conceive my music.

A man is culpable in the eyes of society when he escapes from the jurisdiction of its mediocrity.

I rather like a certain clumsiness in a work of art.

I do not write experimental music. My experimenting is done before I make the music. Afterwards it is the listener who must experiment.

Music is organized sound.

A work of art must make the rules: rules do not make a work of art...I tell people I am not a musician; I work with rhythms, frequencies and intensities...tunes are merely the gossips of music.

Music, which should pulsate with life, needs new means of expression, and science alone can infuse it with youthful vigor.

I was not influenced by composers as much as by natural objects and physical phenomena.

I dream of instruments obedient to my thought and which with their contribution of a whole new world of unsuspected sounds, will lend themselves to the exigencies of my inner rhythm.

It'd hardly be worth having a brother at all, if you couldn't smack him in the head every once in a while.

I don't like going to the gym.

Philosophy is an attempt by man to find cause and effect. Religion has the same goal

When you know the lyrics to a tune, you have some kind of insight as to it's composition.

The cornerstone on which all things are based is man's concept of himself.

I'm focusing on the music, but I still got a cold library of books that I've either read or I plan on getting to.

I was brought up to question things, but I was always a really quiet and shy child.

I want to go to police academy, I want to actually go out and make a couple of arrests. I want to go undercover.

I have a bad memory for facts.

My Pleasure is my business
