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 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.

People would lambaste me or attack me, and I'd be like, "I'm being honest! I'm the one person that's being honest and sincere about what I'm doing." The rest of the world doesn't want to admit the fakery of entertainment on TV, but I love the fake. I think fake is beautiful.

I wanted to make something that raised questions and was completely different and challenged the way most people experienced electronic music. So some people don't like me; that's OK.

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

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

If something was confusing or difficult, then it was a positive thing. Confusion is a positive.
