 «I love doing radio. It’s perhaps the mass communication medium I prefer, it’s intimate and sensual, and allows direct emotional contact, without filters. [...] Sometimes, while the record is playing, I leave the microphone open so that my breath is felt subliminally. And then there are the calls that allow me to give a voice to all those I talk to, and you can imagine yourself in their homes, in their lives… Doing radio this way, sometimes, becomes art.»
