My problem with iTunes is that I don't have any say in how I'm represented on the site.

People love drama, and if you aren't really interested in perpetuating that, it keeps you from exploding on a mainstream stage. I'm totally fine with that.

I almost feel like there's some kind of connection that I'm having trouble putting in to words, in the same sense that I'm learning things from my children still. I think, just like any relationship, if I choose to become twisted and bitter it can be a source of distress or discomfort. But I think I've come to terms with the fact that I would prefer to see it as a gift. And I would prefer to see it as something that empowers me rather than something that diminishes me in some way.

I couldn't make a real drum'n'bass or dubstep record to save my life. But I can be influenced by them in small ways.

Frequently, when I'm compared to someone, I'm like, "Is that really what people think I sound like?"

I personally feel the need to experience life and new music and ideas before I can sit down and start writing music again.

I always like to remain a fan, put it that way: and I like to hold the idealised version of what these artists are like. Greed is one of those components of human nature that's inherent in everyone, and sometimes it is an unpleasant thing to engage in.
