I'm interested in stories and the dark side of peoples' minds.

I really didn't intend to be a musician when I left Japan.

I still think that I'm playing instruments, not just pushing buttons and there it goes. It's interactive and alive with the sound and the manipulation and it plays like instruments.

Improvising things is always changing. A lot of momentum.

I was playing in other rock bands. Any of those bands didn't last long.

So now I don't have time to practice drums. It's been five years since I've touched the drums.

The most important thing is that it's much more fun to play in a band than to be in an audience in a club. That's the main thing I think, that you can do it.

With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.

I got tired of different drum sounds so you buy different effects for more manipulation.

Blood and death. That moves me.

I've done some music for films and I really enjoy doing it.

Once you get the kids raised and the mortgage paid off and accomplish what you wanted to do in life, there's a great feeling of: 'Hey, I'm free as a bird.'

It isn’t only art that is incompatible with happiness, it’s also science. Science is dangerous, we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled.

The essence of life, I concluded, did not lie in the material. It penetrated, but was not bound to, the physical world of science.

Oprah's quitting in 2011. Now we know why the Mayans ended their calendar in 2012

We should live in such a way that our lives wouldn't make much sense if the gospel were not true.

We shall find the abstract equivalent for all forms & elements in the universe, then we shall combine them in sculptural constructions according to the mood of our inspiration.

Don't let the romance die, remember one thing that's going right in the sea of things that aren't.

One thing talk can't accomplish is communication. This is because everybody's talking too much to pay attention to what anyone is saying

You know economists; they're the sort of people who see something works in practice and wonder if it would work in theory.

A moral, sensible, and well-bred manWill not affront me, and no other can.
