I felt extremely uncomfortable as the focal point, in the spotlight. I really like the behind the scenes role, because all my freedom is there.I don't live in the past at all; I'm always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.I wanted to get rid of the element that had been considered essential in pop music: the voice.I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards.The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.I hate the rock music tradition. I can't bear it Every collaboration helps you grow. With Bowie, it's different every time. I know how to create settings, unusual aural environments. That inspires him. He's very quick.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.
