There is always room for coincidence.

It is important for me that a certain depth and variety of both exist next to each other. I am very careful not to sacrifice the one for the other.

One often thinks that using 2 different things like visual and sound lead to 2 different conclusions - to a different content - but in in my case it is all one.

I always try hard to arrange all media in a way so that it expresses what I want - this is not limited to one medium alone and varies from case to case.

There is always room for coincidence.

Some things can be perfectly expressed by sound alone and images would only be disturbing. Other times, sound would be possible, but visuals are much stronger and closer to what I want to express and then again, they sometimes overlap perfectly.

I try to keep a balance between conceptional or intellectual comprehension and emotional understanding.

I made a lot of different experiments with tapes at that time, until I finally realized around 1995, that sound is an interesting subject for me. Ever since then sound got more and more integrated into my art works, musically as well as physically.

When I define polarities in my work, I actually create the space between things. I point to the question I am actually interested in, without naming it.

Starting off, all options are always open, but as soon as you choose something, you inevitably limit yourself. If you go for B, A is out.

I usually create sounds and have different generators running over it. You know you can open a word-file as a picture or the other way round. I do the same with sounds.

You cannot always make such big exhibitions, because they consume too much time and energy.

The subject of my work has a lot to do with general, artistic matters, questions like: What is creativity? Where do we come from? What are our motors? What is coincidence? What is logic?

It is such a complex matter we live within, it is impossible to track logic and decision making really, so therefore each choice can actually only be seen as coincidence.

Every individual decision is nothing but coincidence, every artistic decision is coincidence.

It is such a complex matter we live within it is impossible to track logic and decision making really so therefore each choice can actually only be seen as coincidence.

Sometimes a technology is so awe-inspiring that the imagination runs away with it - often far, far away from reality. Robots are like that. A lot of big and ultimately unfulfilled promises were made in robotics early on, based on preliminary successes.

My mom did a great job because ever since I was born, she would put me into any type of sporting activity with hearing teams.

I never see thy face but I think upon hell-fire.

We're not perfect, but we want to do the right thing.

Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

I was such a nerd, a complete geek, but then I was lucky enough to have a fancy career, where I can be like 'See, I'm not a nerd. Look, I'm in 'Vogue.'

Oh, go in anywhere Colonel, go in anywhere. You'll find lovely fighting all along the line.

Let's not kid ourselves here, robots already run most of our world. We'll be their butlers soon enough.

In my family, we were on again off again Unitarians, partly because my father, raised Roman Catholic, had had enough of church.

People know Detroit for the cars but the suburban areas of the city are really beautiful. Its much more inhabitable than people think. Many believe its like Berlin at the end of World War II.

When I start any book, I have no idea what I'm going to do.

People are afraid of their own lives. Shouldn't your goal be to have a meaningful life? Unknown, mysterious, thrilling?

I played comedies and dramas.

There was just no way I could leave this little Martin guitar in my apartment overnight or even in the afternoon, and expect to find it there when I got back.

Just get a bag and drop a dream in it, and you'll be surprised what happens.

I love that there's a beginning, middle and end to a film and you can craft what the whole journey is going to look like.

Surprise is not humor. I think that there can be a fine line there.

You need to believe in yourself.

The workings of the human heart are the profoundest mystery of the universe. One moment they make us despair of our kind, and the next we see in them the reflection of the divine image.

Happiness is perfume, you can't pour it on somebody else without getting a few drops on yourself.

FRI-NALLY

The individual is capable of both great compassion and great indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and outgrow the latter.

Imitation is the first instinct of the awakening mind.

Even though my work life is very intense, I make a conscious effort to be healthy.
