We were working in entertainment, in the music industry, with popular music, it was important, but it was something that we also felt was a responsibility.

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.

I wanted to write a book that maybe had the potential to go beyond the Deadspin and KSK [Kissing Suzy Kolber] readership.

All my lovers have been geniuses; it's the one thing that I insist.

You get ideas from other people all the time.

I’m pretty masochistic. I kill myself for my craft – Literally

I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown.

Aquarium fishes even if they only imagine going to a lake, the windows of that aquarium will become thinner than before.

Well, thank you. I do exercise in fact I am an exercise freak. Can't do without my regular work out. I'm not letting you in on any more of my secrets!

You say, "But He has not answered." He has, He is so near to you that His silence is the answer. His silence is big with terrific meaning that you cannot understand yet, but presently you will.

When we sit down each day and do our work, power concentrates around us... Ideas come. Insights accrete.

Ultimately ideas come out of a temperament or a sensibility, they are a crystallization or a precipitation of temperament.
