I never really lived outside of the city growing up, but I'm always looking in between the lines of the city, and I magnetize over to the green spots.

I said I'd stop for a year, which was inconceivable to me and everyone around me. It seemed like so long. But then, after that year, I looked up and I still hadn't gotten my land legs back at all.

I'd hear some beautiful Sade or Kings Of Convenience ballad remixed in a club and I liked that these simple little songs seemed to be masquerading. They had put on superhero costumes, got all beefy, and here they were on the dancefloor. I was interested in that. I can't make electronic beats, so I leave it to the pros like Boys Noize and Chromeo.

I guess there are a lot of people out there that think they're supposed to define themselves in isolation, but that's not necessarily the case.

Probably, on some subconscious level, I was motivated by not wanting to spoon-feed any similar flavors.

Instead of just looking back, whiplash-style, I can assume there's something else coming. Time just folds over itself, like origami.

I don't want to take photographs that I won't recognize as myself, and myself isn't necessarily just blankly staring at the lens.
