“I have this eerie feeling that by the time I’m 33, reality will not exist in the same plane as it did before.”

It makes you more choosy and also more receptive to absorb anything for 15 seconds.

I subscribe to the idea that personality is like a muscle.

So I wanted to create soundscapes that are evocative of places that only exist in your head – that’s where the fun, psychedelic stuff happens anyway.

Like the idea that every night might be the night before the world ends.

The Internet really does create this dimension around the music that’s always in relation to what else is happening at the moment.

It’s cool but also a little creepy.

There’s no real template to follow these days for what a band should and shouldn’t be – bands are just becoming these weird little Internet avatars that you either follow or download or interact with in some removed way.

When you completely extract yourself from anything familiar.

I think the Internet has a way of coaching you into this state of mind where you think that every step you make needs to completely supersede the last.

And we use it to read album reviews and watch kitten videos… not to put those two things in the same light!

There’s something really fun and spooky about that teenage feeling of narcissism or indestructibility.

But all you can do is ignore the annoying hum of the machine and focus on making art that makes you excited to be alive.

Because anybody can find their fan base through the Internet.

You start reverting back to that state of mind where you’re having conversations with yourself, and that’s where the weirdest and most honest ideas come from.

Memory is just as much of an instrument as anything else in music.

I don’t mind that I’ve created an identity around what I do.

Because before that I wasn’t thinking about systems or food insecurity or whatever.

I mean getting people to think about what language actually means before they use it is a good thing.

A man got up [after one of Huxley’s ‘sermons’] and said ‘they had never heard anything like that in Norwich before’.

And that’s before anyone starts breaking the rules.

If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you.

I’ve never made a video where I didn’t talk to the artist before I wrote the treatment.

It’s going to be over before a lot of us even know it started.

If someone who is tattooed dies in freedom, then he does so a few years before he would have committed murder.
