I don't know how many records I'm selling.

I'd say that it's important for music to be there that gives you a challenge, that rearranges things in your head.

This current round of gigs, I'm just doing it using pure electronics.

There's a couple of tracks on the new record which is sort of using similar sort of rhythms as the drum and bass tracks but playing it all live. It's a new approach to it.

My history is really playing live - not writing or recording.

I think the best way is to forget about racing people and just find territory that's fresh.

Yeah, my drum programming especially is based on my knowledge of playing a drum kit. For the bass too, definitely. It was the first thing that I translated any sort of ideas through. It must have shaped it somehow.

It's important for that to exist in a society that doesn't present you with any genuine problems.

I was starting to feel really suffocated, using the sequencer.

I like my stuff 'cause I only ever end up with tracks that I really, really like. It always appeals to me.

I'm into music for all different sorts of purposes.

But I always communicate with the audience. I never pretend like I'm just in my bedroom making a track. The whole point of doing a gig is, like, a feedback thing between you and the audience.

I don't know that the best way to approach it is to try and keep up. When you're doing that, you're setting yourself into a one-dimensional sort of race basically.

Doing something like that, quite radically changing your approach to sound in one go, could leave you high and dry. It's happened before where people have changed direction and then everyone's stopped liking their music.

I don't know how many records I'm selling.

Just the type of music that was around at the same time as I was writing. Some of it was wicked, definitely. But there was just one direction which I thought could be pushed that no one was pushing.

I've never really been that much of a fan of Ninja Tune.

I'm always pleased with my work. Absolutely.

I'm not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That's nothing to do with me.

Sometimes I think that I want to do something strictly basic, really simple. Just with a few chords. But I won't have anything more than two or three sentences in my head. That kind of evaporates once I start playing and then it goes off in whatever direction.

I love traveling. I love just going about on my own, feeling I have no roots.

Because, when I'm making music, I don't think about anything, you know? All I think about is what I want to hear. So that for me is what I want - I want my head to be constantly being rearranged.

The only way to find that territory is trying to keep your mind constantly open. That's the only way that you're ever going to see the sort of signs of where to go.

Times of my life, brief periods without music, have completely felt dangerously over the edge.

I have a rough idea when I walk into a studio though.

But I don't really listen to much be-bop at all at the moment.

I make music to generate atmospheres, not to complement already existing ones.

I couldn't find a group that wanted to do what I wanted to do. No one was really up for it.

I'm basically a musician.

The main thing I'm into is going about on a bike, taking random routes; I'm really into the idea of making up journeys, and just seeing where they take you, because they always end up taking you someplace freaky.

Because there's so much stuff I don't release.

I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.

The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.

We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world.

Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.

This is about black people selling out other black people.

I want to share with the American people that President Bush and the Republican majority in just 4 years have borrowed $1.05 trillion from foreign nations. That is selling our country to other nations because of the spending that is going on.

Grossing Out dealt with the western nations selling arms to the Third World and exploiting these countries.

They give me the money, I give them the book. Having input into the adaptation would be kind of like selling a house and coming back three years later and saying, 'Paint it this color!'

The simplest definition of advertising, and one that will probably meet the test of critical examination, is that advertising is selling in print.

Modeling is basically 'Buy more stuff! Don't you want some more stuff? It will make you look ten years younger and men will like you!' If I'd wanted to be a salesperson, I would have got a job selling.

If you have a good selling idea, your secretary can write your ad for you.

Half of Google's revenue comes from selling text-based ads that are placed near search results and are related to the topic of the search. Another half of its revenues come from licensing its search technology to companies like Yahoo.

I didn't know my dad for a long time. My dad was on drugs and my dad was at the VA Hospital, my dad was off in his own world selling drugs or using them or there would be crack heads in the house or whatever it would be.

I made my money by selling too soon.

It's an entire industry focusing on young male viewers that want action and violence. They sell us something that isn't valid. They're selling films like a product.

I wrote and produced millions and millions of selling records, so my publishing company alone was worth millions of dollars. I didn't have to work anymore in life because when the rappers started sampling... I'm the most sampled artist in history.

Salesmanship is limitless. Our very living is selling. We are all salespeople.

My last real job was selling air time for CBS affiliates. I quit that when I was 28, and that was the last real job I had. I beat the system. I've been able to do this full-time for almost 15 years.
