When I was growing up, I was the most pretentious person I have ever met. I only read obscure books and watched obscure movies and only listened to obscure music.

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

I feel like once the song is done, you put it out there and if people want to do bizarre remixes, if people want to make strange videos, great. You know, like chaos theory applied to the music business.

When I dj at big venues I try to play tracks that I would want to hear if I were e'd up in a field with 50,000 other people.

I always feel kind of absurd and presumptuous presenting a speech.

You have climate change and antibiotic resistance which are two of the biggest horses of the apocalypse, and they're basically breathing on our necks, and there's no political will or effort being expended to deal with them.

Oftentimes things that seem really difficult and traumatic in the short term seem a lot less difficult and traumatic in the long term.
