I'm always interested in mixing technology and music. You know, maybe I'll have a MIDI bass pickup at some point, I don't really think that's the direction I would want to go.

In order to have that incredible groove that makes you dream you have to think not of the groove, but of the dream.

It's really important for the bass and the drums to somehow blend.

A lot of the great songwriters in history have been collaborators, with a separate lyricist.

I built all the speaker cabinets myself.

Having viewed Europe as an extension and projection of itself, France now finds Europe developing a mind and identity of its own which embraces France but is not controlled by France.

Just as you ought not to attempt to cure eyes without head or head without body, so you should not treat body without soul.

All the arts in America are a gigantic racket run by unscrupulous men for unhealthy women.
