Feelings Are More Dangerous Than Ideas, Because

Complexity And Intelligence Grow From Simplicity, Not From Greater Complexity.

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.

When I Was Working With Talking Heads What Would Happen Typically Is That They Would Go Out And Start Playing A Track, And I Would Always Run The Tape. I Always Record Everything, Even A Run Through Where You're Trying To Get In Tune. That's A Principle Because Sometimes When The Situation Isn't Clear Interesting Things Happen, And They Are Worth Listening To Again.

Agressive Music Can Only Shock You Once. Afterwards Its Impact Declines. It's Inevitable.
