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

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.

The main thing is to make history, not to write it.

The sanctity of our battlefields, monuments, and veterans institutions is of utmost importance to preserve military history and pay respect to those who fought.

I don't have space to enter into the examples or the history of this, so I'm left with having to make the bold statement that culture is extinct.

I don't have a strong interest in history.

Few men in our history have ever obtained the Presidency by planning to obtain it.

The big battle at the end of DW isn't drawn from history, but it's influenced by history, certainly.

I wanted to be a part of the Disney history.

Research is of considerable importance in certain fields, such as science and history.

What a year to live in! Worth all other times ever known in our history or any other.

There is little evidence that our individual intelligence has improved through recorded history.

The history of Christianity, therefore, must be of concern to all who are interested in the record of man and particularly to all who seek to understand the contemporary human scene.

I know the history of the record business so well because I followed Billie Holiday into the record studios. It was so primitive compared to the sophisticated business today.

The only hope is that our civilization will collapse at a certain point, as always happens in history. Then, out of barbarity, a renaissance.

In economic panics throughout history, the wiping out of the savings accounts of lower earners and the middle class has often led to social revolution, sometimes violent upheavals.

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

Yet through history gays have always dominated religious life and churches.
