I happen to think that computers are the most important thing to happen to musicians since the invention of cat-gut which was a long time ago.

When a pianist sits down and does a virtuoso performance he is in a technical sense transmitting more information to a machine than any other human activity involving machinery allows.

I was never worried that synthesizers would replace musicians. First of all, you have to be a musician in order to make music with a synthesizer.

Everything has some consciousness, and we tap into that. It is about energy at its most basic level.

Part of what I do is a craft, but part of what I do is a science. And I guess the craft comes in knowing what science to use and what science not to use.

I'm an engineer. I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers... They use my tools.

What inspires me is not so much the music as the opportunity to interact with composers. I think that has driven everything I've done.

To those of you who are wearing ties, I think my dad would appreciate it if you took them off.

My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff, but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.

I had been building electronic musical instruments since I was a kid.

Other kids went out and beat each other up or played baseball, and I built electronics.

Procrastination threatens critics’ livelihood.

We can skip through a lot of the stuff people might ask about the writing of the book, and so their comments always start well, well down into the nitty-gritty.

We don't think of ourselves as do-gooders or altruists. It's just that somehow we're trying our best to be run with some sense of moral compass even in a business environment that is growing.

You run the football for toughness. You run the ball to tell your opponent that you're as tough as they are. But you throw the ball to ring the bell.

In 1948 I was appointed to a Lectureship in Physics and in 1949 elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College.

I think of there being two conditions that creative people go through. I think it's fear and curiosity.

I don't know why Christians keep fighting over which is better-singleness or marriage-when it seems rather obvious, both from Scripture and from Church history, that both can glorify God.

As soon as the man is at one with God, he will not beg. He will then see prayer in all action.

The laws of light and of heat translate each other;-so do the laws of sound and colour; and so galvanism, electricity and magnetism are varied forms of this selfsame energy.

I do note with interest that old women in my books become young women on the covers... this is discrimination against the chronologically gifted.
