The holy grail for a music fan...

The holy grail for a music fan, I think, is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever.

I used to love jungle. I still think it's the ultimate genre, really, because the people making it weren't musicians.

It's more interesting for me to stick things out anonymously - you get more of an honest reaction to what you've done.

In America, it's quite admirable if someone's done well or been successful at whatever it is. Whereas in Britain, they're not. They only like it when you're the underdog.

In Britain, it's good for me to be anonymous, because they just think it's a nobody. 'Who is this guy?'

You can't rely on the fact that people know you. At Glastonbury, when they all knew I was DJing, everyone was cheering even though they'd never heard some of the tracks I was playing before.

It's only interesting when you're from somewhere else, like America or Japan. The further away the more interesting it is.

If you've got a stick hitting a drum and you're programming it on a computer, it's more interesting than a sample playing back - it's something in the air, that's the magical ingredient.

That's just globalization. It's got good sides as well. But scenes aren't allowed to develop on their own anymore. Everyone knows about everything.

I'm trying to work out more ways to involve my children, because the way I do stuff is so anti-kid, it's really boring. It's not fun. It is to me, but not to them, because they don't even know what I'm doing.

I'm just some irritating, lying, ginger kid from Cornwall who should have been locked up in some youth detention centre. I just managed to escape and blag it into music.

The holy grail for a music fan...

The holy grail for a music fan is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever. Or, even better, from lots of different planets. The closest we got to that was before the Internet, when people didn't know of each other's existence. Now, that doesn't really happen.

It's quite similar to guitar solos, only with programming you have to use your brain. The most important thing is that it should have some emotional effect on me, rather than just, 'Oh, that's really clever.'

I'd like to have a dog with me.

The best artists are people who don't consider themselves artists, and the people who do are usually the most pretentious and annoying. They've got their priorities wrong. They're just doing it to be artists rather than because they want to do it.

It's really funny, because if you make up words, then people project their own meanings onto it, which I find interesting.

Aphex Twin 38 quotes

Because I've been making music...

Because I've been making music and releasing it for so long, I've got that production-line thing in my brain: I can't do anything new until the last one's out.

Aphex Twin 38 quotes

If you're making things at hom...

If you're making things at home, there is no structure - no end, no beginning. So releasing stuff is a really nice way to have dividers in between what you do, and giving yourself a kick up the ass and saying, 'OK, that's the end of that period.'

My filing system's really crap because I can never decide whether to sort things by studio, or year, or where I lived.

Aphex Twin 38 quotes

When I look at commercial studios, I think, 'Oh, they're all so nice and tidy,' but it's because they don't actually write music in them.
