You have 62 people worth the amount the bottom three and a half billion people are worth. Sixty-two people! You could put them all in one bloody bus… then crash it!
Given the chance, i’ll die like a baby, on some faraway beach, when the season’s over.
I’ve had quite a lot of luck with dreams. I’ve often awoken in the night with a phrase or even a whole song in my head.
I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor.
The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
If you want to make computers that really work, create a design team composed only of healthy, active women with lots else to do in their lives, and give them carte blanche.
I don’t live in the past at all I’m always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.
I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.
If you grow up in a very strong religion like Catholicism you certainly cultivate in yourself a certain taste for the intensity of ideas.
I’m actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.
One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes you move to places you wouldn’t if you knew better.
I periodically realize every few years that the only person whose taste I really trust is me.
I trust my taste. I trust it completely and I always have done, and I’ve always thought it isn’t that different from everybody else’s.
I’m very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
I’m always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven’t thought of doing yet.
You can’t really imagine music without technology.
I’m always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven’t thought of doing yet. I think that’s sort of a characteristic of the way I’ve worked ever since I started.
I think that technology is always invented for historical reasons, to solve a historical problem. But they very soon reveal themselves to be capable of doing things that aren’t historical that nobody had ever thought of doing before.
You can’t have a relationship with a device whose limits are unknown to you, because without limits, it keeps becoming something else.
Instruments sound interesting, not because of their sound, but because of the relationship a player has with them. Instrumentalists build a rapport with their instruments, which is what you like and respond to.
It’s not the destination that matters. It’s the change of scene.
Something I’ve realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we’re smart about it.
