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.

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.

Every American deserves to live in freedom, to have his or her privacy respected and a chance to go as far as their ability and effort will take them - regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or economic circumstances.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

The good poet sticks to his real loves, those within the realm of possibility. He never tries to hold hands with God or the human race.

You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.

Race horses are like golfers, you're never sure how they're going to come out of the stalls. It's just - hopefully the horses come out of the race all right, just fit and ready to go again in the near future, but 3rd was good. It's paid for its hay.

Capitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it, hence, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it.

The French are the wittiest, the most charming, and up to the present, at all events, the least musical race on Earth.

Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.

I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one 'race' - the human race - and that we are all members of it.

The greatest untapped reservoir of raw material in the history of our game is the black race.

Not much to be perfectly honest! I thought The Phantom Menace was terrible, except for the Pod Race.

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.

I recommend the same therapies for all humans with HIV. There is no reason to believe that physiologic responses to therapy will vary across lines of class, culture, race or nationality.

You had to decompress the pressure before the race. I taught my heart to relax. I lay down before the race. It gave me more energy just before the race.

I knew exactly what I was, and there was no hang-up with me. None whatsoever. The fact that the pigment of my skin maybe being lighter brown than other people of my race, maybe some of them, but you know our race has all colors.
