To me, the imagination is the ultimate renewable resource.

With multimedia, everything blurs. Software takes the concept of the imagination and makes it something you can edit, tweak, and transform with digital techniques. Everything becomes an edited file.

The easiest thing I can say is simple, but paradoxical in this era of total sampling: Be original.

I like the idea of it as a trickster motif. You know like you're kind of just messing around with people's memories of songs.

If you don't understand the past, the future won't make much sense either.

My work is all about creating new paths for thinking about the possibilities inherent in all art; another world is possible!

I think that the audience intuitively understands the idea of sampling and remixing stories. That's why electronic music is global.

The world is a very, very, very big record. We just have to learn how to play it.

We live in a world so utterly infused with digitality that it makes even the slightest action ripple across the collection of data bases we call the web.

In fact, if you look at the root word of phonograph it just means phonetics of graphology, phono-graph, writing with sound, so graphology. You know graffiti, same root word.

What I wanted to try and figure out was, okay, in contemporary 21st century life the alienation between the self and the land around you or the self and even the urban landscape. You name it.

Another said, "I don't ask six months, I don't ask two. In less than two weeks we'll meet the government face to face. With twenty-five thousand men we can make our stand.

This is the first age that's ever paid much attention to the future, which is a little ironic since we may not have one.

Sleep helps you win at life.

Do not become so attached to any one belief than you cannot see past it to another possibility. Brom to Eragon

The trouble with golf is that you are only as good as your last putt.

Think about all the selfish non-smokers out there, driving around on asphalt, drinking water out of the tap, not even thinking about how smokers' taxes help pay for it all.

Jesus took His place in a manger so that we might have a home in Heaven.

There's a lot of personal stuff that can go into songwriting but there's also a lot of dramatization and fictionalization. You have to do that to make a good song.

You're always having to live more to fuel something new. It's an obligation to yourself and to the audience. The personal baggage that comes with being a known actor just adds to that struggle.

By praying with friends, you will be able to hear and see facets of Jesus that you have not yet perceived.
