I sampled a bit of stuff from my dad's collection. He has probably a bigger record collection than I do. I try to buy as much as possible, because I've never been able to keep an MP3 collection organized. I like to keep my computers as clean as possible.

I love getting out there and traveling and doing shows and all of that. But when I can be home, it's a special time.

My start came with experimental musicians and live bands. I never played with DJ's because it wasn't really the correct fit. It fit in more with someone using a laptop to create their own electronic music. When you're doing music like that, it's hard to get more than 20 people to come to your show.

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

Samples are kind of my instrument of choice.

When someone is buying a sample-based album, they are investing in the concept of that album. If they really like the original source material, they can go buy it.

I wasn't trying to make a following. I was just trying to make interesting music. That's not being modest, that's just being realistic.
