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 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.

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

If you want to make something that's aggressive and challenging and peculiar and strange and trying to step outside of a traditional approach, some people aren't going to like it.

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 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.
