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.

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.

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.

I honestly and truly love and believe in what I'm making, and it's not a joke, whereas some people would take a singer-songwriter sitting behind an acoustic guitar as sincere.

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.
