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

I've been drunk maybe five times in my life. I don't like to lose control very much.

For me marketing is about how to present a project.

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 got introduced to the rave scene in 1992. At the time I was into skateboarding; I listened to a little hip-hop but was mainly into heavy metal and grunge.

Many people think if you say "no" you just do this to negotiate a better deal, and they didn't understand that Daft Punk really meant "no" because they didn't want to do certain things.

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.
