This whole world is run by brutes for the common and the stupid.

The demise of the monolithic record industry has been, for a lot of people, really liberating and emancipating.

Up until the rise of electronic music, if you were a musician in Portugal or Germany or Italy or Japan, and you didn't sing in English, you really were limited: You could be successful in the country where people understood your language. The world of electronic music is completely international. You have DJs from Finland making huge records for people in New Zealand, DJs in South Korea making huge records for people in France. By the fact that it doesn't cost anything to make, and that it transcends language, nation it accidentally accomplishes a lot of really remarkable things.

For me my biggest inspiration is trying to make music that effects me as much as the music made by my heroes.

No one wants to be hated, in public, by lots of people.
