I'm usually up at 6 A.M., even on the weekend.

If you think about America, it is about getting your backpack on and heading out.

I don't describe myself as a sociable person now. I can be quite... you know... grumpy? Is that a word? I guess I can be a bit grumpy.

I don't regret anything that I've turned down, and I don't regret anything that I've done, really.

I think some people see me as being some kind of lovable, bumbling buffoon, and I'm actually quite mouthy and sharp, and that doesn't compute.

As a kid, I wasn't listening to The Who; I was listening to Frankie Knuckles.

I'm not going to say I'm not a fan, but I'm a fan of house music, essentially, and kind of indie, and I was always into the kind of sub-pop Seattle Mud Honey and Pearl Jam kind of sound. But my kind of big love was house music ever since I was 15/16, going to raves when I was 15 or 16 years old and not going to school, like a naughty boy.
