To me, it's always a joy to create music no matter what it takes to actually get there. The real evils are always whatever stops you from doing that - like if your CPU is spiking and you have to sit there and bounce all your MIDI to audio. Now that's annoying!

There are artists that are using computers in all genres - Kendrick Lamar's music is electronic-made, and Taylor Swift is the same thing. There's a lot of pop music, underground music, and music for films made with computers. In that sense, it's not going to go away.

There's been not a dime spent on marketing for any record I've ever put out.

Whenever I am in my videos, it's rare. A lot of it is, they feel more live and hyper-realist, rather than fantasy. People would just be like, "Oh, Skrillex is acting in this video," and it wouldn't work as well.

It's strange - some directors are really talented but they can be so precious when it comes to letting you be a part of it.

Hip-hop and electronic music are so similar, in the fact that they're both very visceral, have so much bass; a lot of times, it's the same tempos. The culture and some of the sound design is different but a lot of times, it's the same stuff.

Obstacles are an opportunity to create something new
