"We were just talking about this and I don't think we did, it's just natural that something works or it doesn't, you know? I would look at Ivan's paintings, or he would listen to a sound and change something, and it's not something that's overthought."

"I was on before this experimental guy, Morton Subotnick- This old, 80 year-old classic experimental guy. The venue's beautiful. Huge big cinema screen, and I'm like 'What the hell can I do to, you know, wake this audience up from the slumber?', so I decided to throw myself down this staircase to begin the show, which went very well."

"I just like working you know? So I guess what gets released is just the tip of the iceberg."

"It's so beautiful, because you don't really notice the soundtrack which is what I was aiming for."

"I would expect the unexpected, I think that's always the best thing to expect these days. That's always the motivation, 'expect the unexpected'"

"In terms of working with dementia-as a concept-I don't know, it just fascinates me, you know, memory going wrong. There's nothing really to add. I think I'm really fascinated by memory and things going wrong."

"But always, I've got to make it sound like it's organic, so it's not being done digitally, you know? I am always trying to do something where you can't really hear the process, but you can imagine "this is going wrong, this is crumbling down'."

"The process is often before the show."
