When a band first comes along, they should be confusing and doing something people don't accept. You don't want the first reaction to just be, "Oh, I get that."

I think being a DJ is that thing of learning what makes a crowd move. As a DJ, you're constantly learning. It's like chess or something. After a couple of years, you think you're good, then you see a real DJ that's been doing it for 20 years and they just blow you away. I think that's one of the things I like about DJing: you can get better and better and better.

I'll also listen to music on a Discman and realize how nice it can sound when it's not compressed to MP3 format.

I've always found it interesting when I'm the person in the audience feeling mismatched by what I've seen or heard. The shows I've taken the most from I may have not liked while I was there listening to it but, maybe an hour later, there's suddenly a lightening bolt out of the blue: "Oh, I'd see them again."

When you're making the record, you're not thinking about an audience, but you still need them and you want them.

A lot of people in the crowd want to be told what to do; if you just put your hands up, they do it.

I find it really disappointing and cheap when someone's copied the whole drum sound from a record.
