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

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.

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.

Looking back, I think we were very much a part of democratizing music, and we wanted to demystify the process of making music - to show it's a myth.

Life is only this place this time and these people right here and now.

I like to do a face steam, so, heat up a flannel, press it onto your face and then press a cold one on afterwards to close the pores. It's inexpensive!

Man is naturally lazy, therefore he invents labor-saving devices.

Aure entuluva! day shall come again!

You had life by the tail and didn't know it.

Men and women are moved by tides much fiercer than you can imagine, and they sweep us all up into the current.

Nemo tam divos habuit faventes, Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri. Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.

Bernard's [Leach] drawings delineated every little accent on the pot, every subtle curve and change of angle and proportion and all.

Being an ordinary scientist and an ordinary Christian seems perfectly natural to me. It is also perfectly natural for the many scientists I know who are also people of deep religious faith.
