Listen to my albums and you'll encounter love, hate, despair, romance, humour, suspense, murder and intrigue - all wrapped up in a sound caught somewhere between The La's and Dylan plugging himself in, while Nick Cave and Serge Gainsbourg watch on.

Quotes

• “Science, it is usually believed, helps us to build a picture of objective reality – the world 'out there'. With the advent of the quantum theory, that very reality appears to have crumbled, to be replaced by something so revolutionary and bizarre that its consequences have not yet been properly faced.”
• “The brain is the medium of expression of the human mind. Similarly the entire physical universe would be the medium of expression of the mind of a natural God.”
• “That the universe has organized its own self-awareness – is for me powerful evidence that there is 'something going on' behind it all. The impression of design is overwhelming. Science may explain all the processes whereby the universe evolves its own destiny, but that still leaves room for there to be a meaning behind existence.”
• “Matter as such has been demoted from its central role, to be replaced by concepts such as organization, complexity and information.”
• “The scientific quest is a journey into the unknown.”
• “What is remarkable is that human beings are actually able to carry out this code-breaking operation, that the human mind has the necessary intellectual equipment for us to "unlock the secrets of nature"...”
