"I just like working you know? So I guess what gets released is just the tip of the iceberg."

"I was on before this experimental guy, Morton Subotnick- This old, 80 year-old classic experimental guy. The venues beautiful. Huge big cinema screen, and Im like What the hell can I do to, you know, wake this audience up from the slumber?, so I decided to throw myself down this staircase to begin the show, which went very well."

"Its so beautiful, because you dont really notice the soundtrack which is what I was aiming for."

"In terms of working with dementia-as a concept-I dont know, it just fascinates me, you know, memory going wrong. Theres nothing really to add. I think Im really fascinated by memory and things going wrong."

"I would expect the unexpected, I think thats always the best thing to expect these days. Thats always the motivation, expect the unexpected"

"We were just talking about this and I dont think we did, its just natural that something works or it doesnt, you know? I would look at Ivans paintings, or he would listen to a sound and change something, and its not something thats overthought."

"But always, Ive got to make it sound like its organic, so its not being done digitally, you know? I am always trying to do something where you cant really hear the process, but you can imagine "this is going wrong, this is crumbling down."
