If we spent as much time feeling positive about getting older, as we do trying to stay young, how much different our lives would be.

When Depeche Mode put out a single you knew that a week later you could go and buy the 12" and it would have six versions and they were all better.

You can't go back and edit during the live set in the club. In the studio it's different.

There's not much room for deviation, yet if you manage to crack it, there then you can express things that actually do sound unique and genuinely original.

I know that there's a lot of room to maneuver in those kind of ghostly musical spheres.

I wouldn't judge people on their instant responses.

Despite a lot of people thinking that everything gets more and more difficult, I always assumed that people are going to be "Oh, at last you buckled, you're trying to be commercial."

It's very hard to predict what people are thinking.

When you're in the studio, you've got a narrative for what goes on, you might switch on a bit of gear and it might not work as you intended or come out a bit wrong, and you try and exploit it.

When you work on a computer in the studio, it's almost like fossilizing on the spot, you know, the idea of getting solidified on the spot, like a snowflake might create branches by accumulation.

The decision to speak out is the vocation and lifelong peril by which the intellectual must live.

I believe Facebook is going all the way. They're going to reach a billion members and will be the biggest company in the world. It will be a platform everyone goes on the Internet through.

Examples of selling of ideas are portrayed in consulting or paid advice, as the pricing of intellectual property is market driven.

You know there is no one in the world I would rather sleep with than Yuki.

Always look forward. Follow the path of light

Magic doesn't suit everyone. Only those prepared to take full responsibility for themselves should apply.

I'm notorious for giving a bad interview. I'm an actor and I can't help but feel I'm boring when I'm on as myself.

One of the things I'm always proud of is 'Promises made, promises kept.' I've never ever not done what I've said I'm going to do.

My muse is very often, in my mind, a nagger. She nags me.
