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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

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