To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.

It means basically I'm using the synthesizer more to change the sounds of other things rather than to use it as the source of the sound.

Music is my life. The things that people do don't seem interesting to me at all - going out to bars, carrying on, going to parties. What the hell do people do? Shop? Play golf? Have vacations? That doesn't seem interesting to me. To me, my job as a musician is to be a good receptor. A lot of music comes through me.

I think you get people taking things to excess in all fields, doctors, lawyers - -it happens to all kinds of people.

Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself.

It's my dream to make music that can make people feel like they're flying

Anybody who's a guitar player that's spent that time with another guitar player, there's nothing better than that.

You should always think good things and always look for the good in the world. If you look for the bad in the world, you will always find something bad. But if you look for the good you will find it, it is there

My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.

We’re really lucky to live in a planet that has so much music. We could be living in some bland planet that had no music, no movies, no books, just a bunch of people going around having jobs and things like that. To me that would be a really miserable place, you know, to me music is what makes this world a really fun place to be, you know?

People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.

Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.

Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.

You don't throw your life away Going Inside You get to know who's watching you And besides you resides in your body

Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people it doesn't sound good to me. If you're making music in order to become famous or loved by the masses that's not what I'm about. When somebody's making music for the wrong reasons, I hear it right away.

I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.

For me, theory has always opened things up to where I can walk into a room and just by hearing something I know exactly where to go on the guitar. I have a better time playing because I have a variety of colors to bring to the table.

I need people to call me, I never remember to call anyone - otherwise I'll just sit in my house and listen to music all day.
