I'm most excited about going swimming and riding water slides, shooting off fireworks, and playing basketball, and things like that. That's what I really love doing. Summer is a great time.

My dad's been one of those dads who loves showing newspaper articles to the neighbors.

You can feel a little vulnerable when you see people tearing you apart on the internet or saying, "It's the end of music." "This guy is a total hack." I've read it all. But at the same time, even though I feel a little vulnerable with that, I do feel comfortable.

I make a living off of playing shows; the albums only make me a fraction of what I make off of shows, especially since I'm doing around 100 shows a year.

I think some people form the traditional DJ worlds misunderstand where I'm coming form.

The primary goal isn't a financial gain; it's to put out interesting music.

That's something I've always been down with: creative commons and people being able to license their music and allow other people to reuse it and recycle it.
