I liked it when there was a certain amount of people who did not like what I was doing. If anything, I thought that was a positive thing.

I listen to nothing or classical music just because after being in the studio for twelve hours, the last thing you want to do is listen to anything.

Hip-hop is interesting, but American pop music doesn't have the kind of diversity that the UK does.

The things I'm making and doing I really like and think are interesting; I'm drawn to them.

On the one hand, rock is so predictable, but at the same time, the basic idea that an artist can cut through everything and make something that they believe in or make something that they love or speaks to them personally, that it can cut through the bullshit. But at the same time, the cliches of sincerity can kill that.

It was cool to feel this global electronic thing happening. But it just got to be too much at a certain point.

I think a lot of people misinterpret what I'm doing because they think of it as just a joke or they think of it as disposable.
