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.

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.

I rarely assess live shows after I play them.

Unfortunately I've gotten more resistance in the last year than I ever have.

When evil rules a time and place, certain good people are called upon to tell the truth to those who don't want to hear it.

Lack of power and opportunity passes off too often for virtue.

It will be the first time I've played live with a double bass.

Whoa, I've really got to stop making plans with fictional characters. It can't be healthy to develop relationships with people who don't exist.

As the character changes in the movie, it rubs off on the viewer, so the viewer also goes through that change.

From pacifist to terrorist, each person condemns violence - and then adds one cherished case in which it may be justified.

There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.

Privacy isn't negotiable. It's the right of every American.

Make your vocation your vacation. That is the secret to success.

If we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it.
