People see me on stage and sometimes they think, "Who's this hotdog thinking that he's the best." They miss the point that what I'm doing now comes from a whole different world of doing it for no one with nobody caring.

In 2008 it's easy to get huge before you have an album out with the Internet. I think that's great and you see a lot of artists like that. It seems like it's becoming rarer to find a band that has been touring for six years, doing small shows and then breaking out.

I want to make something that's fun to listen to but still challenging and unique.

I always like to borrow bits and pieces of things. There's a line between jumping on something that's happening and incorporating bits and pieces of it into my work.

I guess in a way I try to avoid being labeled as a traditional DJ.

I am always excited for gaps of time where I can actually hang out with my friends.

I can't wait to wake up in the morning and listen to music in order to try to find something to work with.
