At the party, Rob Partridge said to me, You gave hope to other balding men. My new epitaph: Co-wrote a couple of decent songs and went bald shamelessly.

You can hear the profile of a sound, in retrospect, so much more clearly than you did at the time. And I think one of the things that's going to be nauseatingly characteristic about so much music of now is its glossy production values and its griddedness, the tightness of the way everything is locked together.

The problem with computers is that there is not enough Africa in them.

Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.

Well, I am a dilettante. It's only in England that dilettantism is considered a bad thing. In other countries it's called interdisciplinary research.

As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.

Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.

I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory that's when you do your best work.
