Sometimes you do a sound installation, and the first day or two it is very exciting. Then you are hearing this every day for a month, and it becomes like a torture.

I hate alarms. If they go off I get really tetchy. I hate them. They just get me going, I'm hyper at the best of times, but they drive me mad.

All children alarm their parents, if only because you are forever expecting to encounter yourself.

The things which are most important don't always scream the loudest.

The devices that our kids use are shipped from the factory with every possible audio, visual or vibration alert switched on. Each new app, website, tweet and message adds another layer of intrusion - each intrusion is cynically designed to get a response, and each response creates an appetite for another intrusion.

I usually wake up at 7, 7:15, without an alarm. I hate the sound of an alarm.

They that govern the most make the least noise.

Sound comes out of a life experience.
