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 consider every album to be a snapshot.

My core values are still the same about music, and my work ethic, and what I want to represent to people.

If you think of any long-term artist that makes music throughout several decades, you would hope that it's autobiographical and a form of self-expression, and that's certainly how I approach my music.

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.

Like a lot of other DJs, I've been wondering when the first DJ game was going to happen. Somebody even pitched me on their own idea and I thought, "I'm not a video game startup; I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this."

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