John Cale

What I enjoy most about being on stage is that the natural instruments give you a greater freedom with texture. When you use natural instruments they have their own resonance.

Time plays a role in almost every decision. And some decisions define your attitude about time.

I'm content with making records, but I don't want to be doing the same thing all the time.

Even if you're improvising, the fact that beforehand you know certain things will work helps you make those improvisations successful. It really helps to have a certain amount of knowledge about musical structure.
