The lo-fi scene and the riot grrrl thing had a huge influence on me. As a teenager I went to see Bikini Kill and all those bands.

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.

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

Unless you keep focused on your desires through images, repetition and a positive attitude, it will come to nothing.

Even You-Know-Who can't split himself into seven.

Time waxing old can many a lesson teach.

The bottom of the oil barrel is now visible.

Everyone understands cards and relates to it. They have them in their homes and in their hands, so it makes them very accessible.

The transformation from separation to unity, from conflict to peace, is the goal of all spiritual traditions.

I think a lot comes from having the experience of doing stand-up comedy. It allows you to figure out the psychology of an audience; what things are funny and not.

Now that copyrights can be just about a century long, the inability to know what is protected and what is not protected becomes a huge and obvious burden on the creative process.

Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.

[I] read Anne Frank's diary [while imprisoned] on Robben Island and derived much encouragement from it.
