Music doesn't have to be so rule-based - and so strict in its structures, construction and perception.

I think underneath it all [in the Big Funk] was a little bit of a Europeanness in it.

We were coming from a completely different place, which was saying "sound" is what you want to define it as, and you can shape it into music in whichever way you want.

We've always been observant of things, and I think Crackdown was very much like that and the film interpretation was that journalistic view of that situation.

We also worked with Marshall Jefferson for Groovy, Laidback and Nasty. So we were lucky to work with some really great people.

Crackdown, the video, interpreted and reflected a sense of authority and austerity and a sense of slight, impending doom.

I think what we tried to do lyrically, vocally and musically was to capture a sound.

If you're going to change things, one of the things we had to change is to get away from that traditional model of rock music, and we were a part of that.

One of the tropes of our videos is that they were very rhythmic with clipped edits.

We had always used found sound, but we had always used it in an analogue way. And it was the early days of using collage and sound in a digital way. MTV, a couple of years later would be that way.

I suspect people channel-surf, as they tend to everywhere. But I'm told that we're not much on at the State Department, so we'll have to look into that.

I don't come from money or an educated family background or any sort of supportive family life, so all of my choices are made on my own.

I thought I was an actor playing a wizard. But really, I was a wizard playing an actor.

Sleep not when others speak, sit not when others stand, speak not when you should hold your peace, walk not when others stop.

Kids on a team are like flowers in a bouquet, there is always one that wants to face a different way than the arranger desires.

Your brain works with all the subtlety of a malicious child.

When the mind is exhausted in trying to find the answer, the answer dawns.

I will kill thee a hundred and fifty ways.
