I build the individual modules to meet a demand. If I need the music to change direction, I want to have the tools to be able to do that.

With the mailorder, I wake up in the morning, I check my e-mail, process the orders, and then I just print everything out. And then for the rest of the day it's actually sitting with paper.

It's funny, because I'm so associated with digital art and computer art, and yet I spend so little time in front of the computer.

I can only stand to sit in front of my computer for three or four hours a day. Otherwise it can get really soul-sucking.

I love collecting; my joy is finding private press American or European home studio electronic music from the 60s and 70s.

Records can ruin you. That's why it's important to be as intimately familiar as possible with the history of recorded music, I guess. In a way, it's an argument for record collecting.

I don't want to rewrite history.

I think Pro Tools is pretty analogous to how people composed music on tape back in the 70s, taking little fragments of things and saying, 'How can we organize these in a sensible way'?

I think if people have more of an understanding of what I'm doing, then they'll appreciate it and get into it more.

I rarely assess live shows after I play them.

I use a laptop more as a tool, as sort of the central artery. Everything goes through the digital audio card of my computer, but if I had my druthers I'd do everything in dedicated hardware.

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable!

The brain says “it is impossible” and the legs respond “let’s sit down”. The brain says “it is possible” and the legs respond “let’s go to work”. Don’t blame the legs, blame the head.

Stuffed cats are able to creep more convincingly than live ones.

People come to music to seek oblivion: is that not also a form of deception?

I feel most ministers who claim they've heard God's voice are eating too much pizza before they go to bed at night, and it's really an intestinal disorder, not a revelation.

He who fills His pockets with the Rocks of Misdeeds shall surely sink in the River of Good Fortune.

This conviction brought me, in the summer of 1978, to the Free Trade Unions - formed by a group of courageous and dedicated people who came out in the defense of the workers' rights and dignity.

FAITH is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.

Luck is luck ... What we do with it determines whether it's good or bad.
