We were sort of coming from an angle where we wanted to break rules.

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.

Have I told you I love you?" he whispers.I smile. "Not since this morning.""Unforgivable. I will tell you every hour of every day.

Anyone who believes in the essential role government can play in improving people's lives must also be the toughest critics of those who abuse the public trust.

Being an artist is not only what you do, but how you live your life.

I've heard all kinds of crazy rumors about myself. I've even heard that I'm pregnant! I've become real good about laughing things off - I figure I'd better get used to it.

I'm an actor's director. I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life.

Starting is easy. Finishing is hard.

People will always be more willing to give you things that they think you don't need.

Fire and fear, good servants, bad lords.
