To me, there's never been a difference between electronic and acoustic. I've always had this idea that electricity is another element like wind or fire or water.

Transport drives me crazy. I find myself on this constant conveyor belt and the planes, buses, traffic jams, ugh.

I became slightly disillusioned, but in a really good way that enabled me to realize that the music was the most important thing, and that the rest of it is total bullshit.

An electronic instrument is just harboring a natural element the same way that a guitar is harboring an acoustic element. It's all nature, really.

New York has an electronic heart.

Put simply, what I'd like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everybody's who is willing to work for it.

I haven't run out of ideas yet. Usually while I'm working on a book, I'm doing research for the next one!

I'm hoping that the suspension of the space program is just that, a suspension, and that it's not the final say in the matter, because I think we need it.

I think when dictionaries define words, there's a sort of hair-splitting that to most people doesn't make any sense, which is we're not describing what a thing is.

The only punk that I really care about and am an expert on is the original punk of 1976 to 1979.

He who aspires to be a serious wine drinker must drink claret.
