There's a lot of money being generated by nerds right now. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, the list goes on and on. Nerds make more money than our government. And with money comes power.

When you first start working, you take whatever job is offered, because you have to build your resume. But you don't think about what you're building.

The 'Hipster Nerds' like stuff because they hate it. It's like they ironically like it.

Every time I finish a record, it's sort of feels like, "I can't believe that I'm hanging out and having a conversation, and people are gonna listen to this." It's an odd thing, but it's really cool.

Any time you're lucky enough to get on a show people watch, it's a good thing.

The idea of the archetypal nerd is totally blurred these days. So many people of this current generation have grown up with technology and video games. It's just a part of the world now, a part of our shared culture.
