Without David Bowie, popular music as we know it pretty much wouldn't exist.

I know it's simple, but my main inspiration is just my love of music. I know that sounds overly naive. But it's true.

When playing big festivals, I tend to play big, over the top techno tracks, like hands in the air songs that make sense being played in front of 30,000 people. I steer away from subtlety in the interests of big bombastic dance music.

Being a vegan is pretty easy these days, as almost every town and city has health food stores and vegetarian-friendly restaurants.

Factory-farm lobbyists are so powerful and so well funded and they do everything in their power to hide the truth about farming. They keep the farms and slaughterhouses in places that most people never visit; they execute huge marketing campaigns in an effort to make animal production look like a happy, nice, benign institution.

I know, in my heart of hearts, I don't do things for money.

One of the problems with being relatively conscious and human, is that you want to help everybody.
