To me a lot of electronic music out there is too serious. I'm a bit fed up with DJs who take themselves too seriously and don't smile.

I have a pretty normal office day. I get to work at 10 in the morning and leave at eight or nine.

For me going out to party never meant drinking or taking drugs.

For me marketing is about how to present a project.

Some people started to call me "the King of No" because with Daft Punk we were saying "no" to everything.

The great thing about the electronic music scene is that everybody can be part of it either by dancing, DJing, or organizing a party.

At the time, in 1996, an electronic band signing with a major label was something new, at least in France. Daft Punk knew that this meant a marathon of promotion, TV appearances, etc. To protect themselves and to be discrete, they came up with the masks and, three years later, the robot helmets.
