Richard D. James

I used to make up names when I used to catalog my stuff.

I got a feeling I had loads when I was in primary school, 'cause I had red hair; you know, like Duracell.

Sometimes I just hit the keyboard in a way I'd like the rhythm of the tracks to sound.

It sounds really arrogant, but my music's my favourite music ever. I prefer it to anyone else's.

It started off at a club called Disobey, around the corner from where I live.

I'm a really good hacker, but I'm not a sensible person.

Can't really despise people you don't know.

Well, I just bought a massive bank and I've moved into it on my own.

There's a lot of melancholy in my tracks.

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.'

The best musicians or sound-artists are people who never considered themselves to be artists or musicians.
