We were responding to a period in the 70s when we started that it was very much you cannot be involved in music unless you studied to do music.

I think underneath it all [in the Big Funk] was a little bit of a Europeanness in it.

We were coming from a completely different place, which was saying "sound" is what you want to define it as, and you can shape it into music in whichever way you want.

We've always been observant of things, and I think Crackdown was very much like that and the film interpretation was that journalistic view of that situation.

Music doesn't have to be so rule-based - and so strict in its structures, construction and perception.

We also worked with Marshall Jefferson for Groovy, Laidback and Nasty. So we were lucky to work with some really great people.

Crackdown, the video, interpreted and reflected a sense of authority and austerity and a sense of slight, impending doom.

I think what we tried to do lyrically, vocally and musically was to capture a sound.

If you're going to change things, one of the things we had to change is to get away from that traditional model of rock music, and we were a part of that.

One of the tropes of our videos is that they were very rhythmic with clipped edits.

We had always used found sound, but we had always used it in an analogue way. And it was the early days of using collage and sound in a digital way. MTV, a couple of years later would be that way.

It's more interesting to be out in the world. than to see it reflected in the mirror.

There is a restlessness within us that cannot be satisfied until we rest fully in God.

A promise must never be broken.

I am very determined and the sport is my passion. I believe I am born for running.

Anyone who doesn't feel the crosses simply doesn't get that country.

I don't know if I'm teaching my kids right, but you have to go with your own instincts. You can't be so sure that other people are going to do right by you.

The reality is that during the Reagan years, for instance, we doubled the amount of revenue that we were sending to Washington, D.C. after the tax cuts took effect.

Be the kind of person that you want people to think you are.

We do not mean to count or weigh our contributions by any standard other than that of our abilities.

Are we willing to do for the truth what others are willing to do for a lie?
