“There is always the possibility of a better life with every change that we face, but sometimes we have to look hard for it.”
“Phonogram was explicitly about our world. Itâ€™s a fantasy which is happening around us all, unnoticed except for those whoâ€™ve fallen into its world. In a real way, itâ€™s real. Conversely, W+D is much more overt. The appearance of the gods changes the world, and has changed the world going back.

“It's one thing to assent to propositions like 'The way of things is ineffable', and quite another to internalise what it is being gestured at by such propositions, to get a sense or feel for mystery. For me, at least, it is in and through ways of engaging with nature that this sense is intimated. These ways include being in the garden.”
“When I was studying interior architecture, and playing around with glass because I really liked glass. There was one night when I blew a bubble and put a pipe into this glass I had melted and blew a bubble. From that moment, I wanted to be a glassblower.”
“Postmodernism surely requires an even greater grasp of symbolism, as it's increasingly an art of gesture alone.”
