I want the material I make to be mine; that's always the goal of the record and of the show.

It's rare when I feel like I can extract a lyrical message out of combining two things together.

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

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.

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.

I want to make new and interesting music out of pop music in a way that isn't ironic. I want to stay sincere to the source material but at the same time manipulate it and take it to a new world.

I think a lot of times people from the traditional DJing world think I'm trying to come up with an ultimate dance mix. That's not really what I'm doing. I'm trying to make something a little bit progressive and challenging.
