None of the quotes in this article have sources, and I couldn't find any by googling, so I have moved them here.

•  "This record “The Truth in Me” is very important to me. I have re-found the passion in music and this is what it means to me, this record. I have no control over it, it just comes and as such is the truth in me, musically. It's everything I have become as a musician. When I became a musician I had a lot of dreams and a lot of them have been lost along the way but making this record and for people to like it would be incredible for me. I have spent all of my career standing behind somebody else, letting somebody else decide what I was to play, making their dreams come true. This is my time and I won't compromise it. It’s a very personal thing that I want to share with everyone that will give me the time to listen to it." [citation needed]
• Although O'Donnell played drum-type sounds on the record he says he wasn't inspired by any particular drummer in creating these rhythmic parts, quipping, "I try never to think like a drummer." [citation needed]
•  "My initial idea [for the soundtrack] was to try and write a song and record it using only a Moog and that's what happened. I knew from my early days that I could orchestrate using mono analogue synths so in a way I was revisiting my roots. In those days you had no choice - there weren’t any samplers around, so if you wanted a bass or strings you synthesized them."
•  "At the time I was in a band, so why try and recreate a band if I could do it on my own? I was also inspired by Björk's use of a single instrument, the voice, on her record Medúlla. I also found the Voyager really easy to work with and thought that maybe I had found my own voice and could do something that was entirely original."
•  Although O'Donnell had many vintage synthesizers at his disposal, he found the Voyager most comfortable. "It's stable, it sounds incredible, it's so powerful, and I know how to use it. I have a good understanding of subtractive analogue synthesis and I know how it makes the sounds. I feel at one with it." Further praising the instrument, Roger said he was drawn to "its sound and usability, the ergonomics and human interface... the gravitas of the name and its place in music history."
