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

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 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.

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

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

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.
