I want to inspire the next generation. I want to be in mission control with someone younger than me wanting to break my record.
The only album that I listen to upon recording a new one is my 'Cry' album, because sonically, I think it's my best album to date. But other than that, I've never listened to my records, ever.

I've got time, I hope, to make lots of quiet records. So quiet you won't be able to hear them.

I've been using Steinberg's Cubase exclusively to record and mix my music since the very beginning of my career.
