I always like the people who keep moving forward, but kind of stay in their own lane.

A lot of times people have issues with me because they don't understand where I'm coming from and haven't seen the years and years of hard work and shows I've played.

In the past, hearing music had more value.

It's weird for me when someone asks me to do a remix as Girl Talk and not use samples.

The goal for me is, I build the record that I put out as one individual song. Even though it's broken up into tracks, to me it's like one hour-long piece of music. In assembling the whole thing, I'm really thinking, okay, it's gonna end here, it's gonna start here, and I kind of have the idea of the journey.

When I'm performing, this is what everything builds up to, and everything has allowed me to be here.
