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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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