When people come to my shows they know there is a distinct beginning and end. It's difficult for me to play for much more than an hour, so people kind of come out and treat it like a rock show. They're fiending and ready to dance.

With rap music, there are billions and billions of samples that are uncleared that people have never been bothered about on an underground level.

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

You can write very obtuse and abstract lyrics, and if they want to, people are going to find something amazing that you're saying.

I listen to music constantly, and I'm always hearing things I love that I'm excited to use.

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.

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.
