[talking about electric cars]
I suddenly thought to myself: 'This is going to be a big, big problem. People will be run over by electric cars all the time. They make no noise. No sound. They're silent! And then I realised that they'd have to make some sort of sound to mimic the sound of a car engine. But that would be stupid. And then it struck me - ringtones. People will program their car, as part of the insurance policy that states: 'Don't run people over with your silent car.' It will blow the music business wide open! Everyone will love it.
