So many people I was at school with have all ended up being musicians and putting records out.

I feel like there's a young generation of producers who are taking inspiration from dubstep but trying to push it in other directions.

People read into the music. I have a feeling that they can believe that I'm trying to put some emotion forward. It's not just some technical exercise.

When drum'n'bass happened, when the two-step/garage thing happened, there was a chart smash every week; it operated on the underground and the pinnacle of pop mainstream at the same time.

When I first heard bands like Tortoise, it seemed to come off the back of that world, like let's make a record with three vibraphones and release it on a seven-inch with black-and-white artwork.

I think the most important thing for me is putting out records that document ideas.

Gospel isn't some ditty to make people enjoy their afternoon - it's communicating with God.

I realized there were no words or anything in my music, nothing that people would have to draw them in a little bit more.

I find the more I DJ, the more ideas I have and the more music I want to make.

My father is a massive, massive music fan. I grew up listening to rock, soul and jazz.

The lo-fi scene and the riot grrrl thing had a huge influence on me. As a teenager I went to see Bikini Kill and all those bands.

The food I've liked in my time is American country cookin'.

The Constitution needs allegiance and loyalty and renewal and understanding with each generation, or else it's not going to last.

Prayer among men is supposed a means to change the person to whom we pray; but prayer to God doth not change him, but fits us to receive the things prayed for.

The artist’s job, I think, is to be a conduit for mystery.

We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond.

There is small merit in mocking goodness, tweaking charity; it is much more comic to deprive people of their petty little existence for no reason at all, for a lark.

What is needed isn't merely tolerance but acceptance, wholehearted and unconditional.

It is the safeguard of the strongest that he lives under a government which is obliged to respect the voice of the weakest.

Our Constitution, which was intended to limit government power and abuse, has failed.

He has let her in not because he genuinely loved her, but only because she played so well into his preconceived fantasies.
