I can't edit live as meticulously as I can for an album.

The point has always been to make music, it's not like I've always been running a giant money making scheme.

I wanted to make experimental music out of pop.

When I was 18, I was playing to 18 to 21-year-olds, and then, when I was 25, still playing to 18 to 25-year-olds. As I've gone on, the crowd has gone in both directions, both younger and a little older now than it's ever been. It is an interesting thing to hit 30.

A lot of people aren't aware of the years and years of humiliation and horrible shows I've played.

Nowadays when you buy music its like you're donating to that cause, because you most likely could hear it in some capacity for free.

To get 300 songs to fit together on an album, it's not like I choose 300 songs and say these are the ones I wanted to pick. To get those 300 songs I sampled 1000's of songs and narrowed down the ones I felt worked the best musically.
