I've always been compared to people. It's a revolving cast that comes and goes - obviously, sometimes people stay.

One of my favorite things that Yahoo does on a regular basis is this story: "Wealthiest Rap Artists." That's an example of the internet just perpetuating this myth that we're all just sitting around in these mansions like Steven Tyler, bopping around in our swimming pool. It's bullshit.

The music that I have always liked has always been more rooted in anger or sadness or alienation or any of those inspirational factors that drove rock'n'roll, gospel, and blues. I tend not to value a more pop aesthetic.

I've tried to tell people that the reason I don't really get excited over good press is that I don't want to get agitated over bad press. I don't wanna get too high on good press, too low on bad press. It's just not a healthy way to engage with my own feelings about my music.

I tend to gravitate away from the more trendy Ibiza style of dance music. It's not me.

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

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.
